Description: The Andiamo run is a low-key event which spans the entire W&OD Railroad Regional Park--a 45.5 mile generally flat, paved trail on an abandoned railroad bed. The trail is use by runners, walkers, skaters, bicyclists, horses, and people walking their dogs. For most of the way, there is a parallel dirt path. Generally, traffic is not a problem. Several bad road crossings now have bridges but some still require crossing streets with heavy traffic. Runners must comply with traffic signals and laws applying to pedestrians. There will be no special measures in dealing with traffic. This is a low-key event. Don't expect anything out of this other than an interesting run through beautiful countryside.
