Once envisioned as a disruptive four-lane highway through neighborhoods, the final design now blends limited-access lanes south of Home Avenue with a slower, neighborhood-friendly two-lane stretch north. For locals like Sona Iyengar, who once called it “the road to nowhere,” the moment is bittersweet and deeply emotional. With 455 runners—surpassing the limit—the event, dubbed “the shortest race on the longest day,” celebrated not just the road, but decades of persistence and community hope.
