Crim shouldn't be affected by building collapse, official says

News, Flint

FLINT -- The start and finish lines for Saturday's Crim Festival of Races
shouldn't be affected by Thursday's collapse of part of downtown's Rowe
Building, Crim officials said today.

The officials said they expect the starting and finishing lines on South
Saginaw Street to be in the usual place Saturday morning, hurdling a last-minute
scare when the street was closed off today and Thursday due to the collapse.

Concerns that the Special Olympics race tonight would have to be moved to
First Street also were averted. That race starts at the Crim finish line in the
500 block of South Saginaw, near the site of the collapse.

Three hours before the 6:15 p.m. start of the race, Special Olympic race
organizers got the all-clear sign that the regular course would be open.

"Everything is status quo,'' said Pam Brown, Crim marketing director.

Work crews had assured race officials that Saginaw Street would be cleared
and re-opened in time for the main race, if not sooner, Brown said. The annual
race brings thousands of people downtown to watch or participate in several
running and walking races, including the 10-mile main event.

About 80 children are expected to participate in the Special Olympics race,
Brown said.

The Rowe Building is in a key spot on the course.
