We appreciate your understanding and recognize the inconvenience of road closures in Heather Hill. To mediate the issue, we have come up with an alternative plan that hopefully will relieve any tension on race day. If you have any question please call 708-267-4540 for more information.
Heather Hill Race Day Plan
If at all possible refrain from driving from 7:00am - 9:30am and enjoy the race.
PRIMARY EXIT POINT
1. Northbound exit via Douglas Ave across Flossmoor Road. Proceed north to Heather, and turn left to exit onto Governor’s Highway. This avoids the race route and/or waiting for runners to pass
SECONDARY EXIT ROUTE
2.) Westbound exit at Governor’s Highway
3) Westbound exit at Kedzie
Cars will be allowed to exit after slight wait for runners to pass safely. Please exhibit caution and obey volunteer course marshals – Thank You!
The Village of Flossmoor will experience a series of rolling road closures Saturday September 7, 2024 during the running of the Hidden Gem Half Marathon.
There will be a period of “Soft” closures and then “Hard” closures when runners enter each neighborhood. These hard closures will vary by neighborhood and are unlikely to last longer than 1 hour in most neighborhoods.

The following streets will remain open throughout the race and should be used as alternative routes.
-
183rd Street

Dixie Highway
