Construction continues to improve the intersection at Campbell and Ft. Lowell. We are about 6 weeks into a 9 month project that will greatly improve the intersection but will cause serious delays in traffic before its completion. So please keep in mind that when you visit us, you might want to avoid that intersection. If you need alternative directions, please let us know and we will gladly suggest a different route.

Happy Running and Walking from Sharon, Lucas, Brett, Andrew, Dustin, and Jess.
