COSHOCTON − Relay for America will be coming through the area the morning of July 1, although exact times are not known, according to a public announcement from the City of Coshocton.
The expected path is through Roscoe Village along Whitewoman Street to Chestnut Street then along County Road 16 to West Lafayette.
Coshocton County Sheriff Chris Walters and local fire departments will provide an escort to the runners, along with Mayor Mark Mills welcoming the relay to the community.
Residents are encouraged to show their support by cheering on the participants as they pass by with the flag.
Volunteers are carrying a single flag on foot across the United States with the goal of uniting citizens one mile at a time. The flag is passed from runner to runner continuously until it arrives at the National Mall in Washington D.C. on July 4.
One can track the relay’s live location at relayforamerica.org/live. Learn more about the project at relayforamerica.org. It can also be followed on Instagram at @relayforamerica.
