At 12:00 pm, NIH Leadership will blow the official starting whistle in front of Building 1 and the Fun Runners will go first followed by the Walkers. Everyone will proceed down Center Drive to Rockville Pike and onto the NIH Perimeter Pedestrian Pathway ending at building 33.

Everyone will be required to follow the pedestrian "rules of the road," and must obey the traffic signals at all intersections, crossing only on the "WALK" light. The NIH Police will be stationed at some intersections to further ensure the safety of our participants.
