Why Can’t I Park on Fort Avenue from 5 AM to 3 PM on Saturday, 1 October?

I noticed that on Monday and Tuesday, various city workers were posting “No Parking
signs on one side of Fort Avenue.  The signs continued for a nice
stretch until Charles Street, then the signs continued north on Charles
Street.  None of my neighbors had any idea why the signs were up,
and I was determined what was preventing people from parking on this
rather long stretch from 5 AM to 3 PM on Saturday, 1 October. 

On my way into work this morning, one of those light-bulb-over-the-head
moments occurred and I suddenly realized why these signs were
posted.  Saturday is the Komen Maryland Race for the Cure, and the route for the race follows the signs. 

Now I know.  And knowing is half the battle….
