SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT APPLICATION BY
BROOKSEE, LLC, TO CONDUCT A MARATHON AND A HALF MARATHON
FOOTRACE THROUGH THE CITY OF AZUSA IN 2018 AND 2019
SUMMARY:
Brooksee, LLC., has submitted an application for a Special Event Permit to hold the REVEL Canyon
City Marathon and Half Marathon on November 3, 2018 and November 2, 2019. The marathons will
begin in the San Gabriel Canyon (CA 39) and terminate at City Hall. The proposed action authorizes the
Interim City Manager to execute the Special Event Permit agreement for the 2018 and 2019 REVEL
Canyon City Marathon.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following action:
1) Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the Special Event Permit agreement for the 2018
and 2019 REVEL Canyon City Marathon, operated by Brooksee LLC., in a form acceptable to
the City Attorney, on behalf of the City.
DISCUSSION:
Brooksee, LLC, has held the REVEL Canyon City marathon and half-marathon in the City of Azusa
since 2014 and is scheduled to hold its 4th annual race this November 4, 2017. The race will begin in the
San Gabriel Canyon (CA 39) in the Angeles National Forest and end in the City of Azusa directly west
of City Hall on Alameda Avenue. The applicant is seeking approval of a Special Event Permit, using the
same parameters from their previously approved scheduled event on November 4, 2017 and the attached
Draft Conditions of Approval (Attachment 2). The Police Department, Public Works Department,
Planning Division and the Los Angeles County Fire Department have submitted draft conditions of
approval based on the 2017 marathon. The 2018 and 2019 marathon plans would need to be reviewed by
these departments prior to the final event route and operation approval. In the event that the event may
require a change in the proposed route or operations, the applicant is requesting that they be allowed to
revise the site plan and operation plans accordingly with the approval of involved City departments
without returning to the City Council.

A. Permittee shall provide to City, certificates of insurance with original
endorsements, and copies of policies, with the following insurance, with A.M. Best’s rating of no

(3) Workers’ Compensation: Workers’ Compensation Insurance, as

or reduced in coverage or in limits except after Seventy-Two (72) Hours’ prior notice has been

self-insurance maintained by the indemnified parties shall not contribute with this primary
insurance.
In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with
these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain
the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by
Permittee. City may cancel this Agreement in the event any policy of insurance required under
this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced.
C. Permittee shall give to City prompt and timely notice of claim made or
suit instituted arising out of Permittee’s activities hereunder. Permittee hereby waives its own
right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance

cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be
necessary for its proper protection relative to the conduct of the Athletic Events.

2018 & 2019 Traffic, Safety, & Medical Plan
Last Updated: Sept 20, 2017
This document outlines the traffic control, safety, and medical plan for the Revel Canyon City Marathon &
Half, to be held on Saturday, 11/03/18 and 11/02/19. Both races will begin in San Gabriel Canyon (CA 39) in
the Angeles National Forest, and end in the City of Azusa. Brooksee’s principal concern is the safety of our
participants and of the public. As an organization, we wish to stress that we will take all necessary steps in order
to ensure a safe event for all affected stakeholders.
Participation
We anticipate that roughly 1,600 people will compete in the full marathon, and roughly 1,600 people will
compete in the half marathon each year. In addition, we expect that each participant will have on average 1 to 2
spectators at the event finish line. Spectators will not be allowed in the canyon portion of the race--spectating
will be at the finish venue or along the race route outside of the canyon. We will also have roughly 300
volunteers and support staff on race day. This number includes personnel at aid stations along the route, at the
starting venues, and at the finish venue.
Parking
Half marathon participants will park in designated lots of Citrus College (lots S2, S4, and S6). Full marathon
participants will park in APU’s Drive-In Lot. Within these lots there is capacity for all expected participant
vehicles; therefore we do not anticipate that participants will find it necessary to park elsewhere in the
surrounding areas. Uniformed event staff members and volunteers will be present to direct parking and ensure
that safe conditions are maintained in the parking lots. We anticipate that participants will begin to arrive in the
parking lots shortly after 3:30 AM.
Busing
Half marathon participants will be loaded onto buses along Citrus Ave, between University Way & Foothill
Blvd (adjacent to the APU track complex). The half marathon buses will line up in the #2 lane, facing north.
Once full, they will exit the area by heading north on Citrus Ave and using Barranca north to Sierra Madre and
thence up the canyon. Half marathon buses will be loading and leaving between 4:30 and 5:30 AM.
Full marathon participants will be loaded onto buses along Foothill Blvd, across from Cerritos Ave. The full
marathon buses will line up in the #2 lane, facing west. Once full, they will exit the area by heading west on
Foothill Blvd and north on Azusa Ave and thence up the canyon. Full marathon buses will be loading and
leaving between 4:00 and 5:00 AM.
Course Routes
The races will begin at 7:00 AM at two separate locations, approximately 13 miles apart. The half marathon will
start roughly nine miles up the highway from the mouth of the canyon, at the OHV recreation area parking lot.
The full marathon will start on Crystal Lake Road, roughly 0.40 miles below the Crystal Lake Café parking lot.
Both races will proceed south down the highway, using the northbound lane. Once the full marathon route
reaches the half marathon starting point, the two courses follow the exact same route.
As participants exit the canyon, they will continue south on CA 39, continuing to use the northbound lane.
Participants cross Sierra Madre Ave and continue south on Azusa Avenue in the #3 lane. The course then turns
left (east) onto 9th St, then right (south) onto Palm Dr. The race then turns right (west) on Foothill Blvd and
finishes with a final right (north) turn onto Alameda Ave, where the finish line will be located adjacent to the
southwest lawn at Azusa City Hall.
Uniformed traffic control personnel and event staff will be present along every portion of the route in order to
direct participants and answer the concerns of the public. See Exhibit B for a timetable that outlines where
participants will be at certain intervals of the event.
Traffic Control on San Gabriel Canyon Road
We have engaged Traffic Management Inc., a licensed traffic control and engineering company, to oversee
traffic logistics. Traffic control plans for San Gabriel Canyon Road (CA 39) are outlined below:
Half Marathon Start Line: Buses will drop runners off at the OHV recreation area, where the runners
will stage. The buses will then continue up the canyon and turn around in the large paved pullout area
located roughly 1.25 miles past the half marathon start line. The buses will then exit the canyon.
Full Marathon Start Line: In order to avoid congestion with the half marathon buses, the majority of
the buses transporting full marathon participants will enter the canyon before the half marathon buses.
Full marathon buses will drop runners off at the Crystal Lake Café parking lot. The buses will then
continue up the road to the upper campground parking area and turn and exit the canyon.
San Gabriel Canyon Road (CA 39): It is planned for runners to be on the highway in the canyon from
7:00 AM until 12:30 PM. During this time, the northbound lane of traffic will be reserved for runners.
Candlestick cones will be placed every 40 feet (or more, depending on Caltrans guidelines) down the
canyon to separate runners from vehicles. TMI will place “No Parking” signage (including tow-away
language) in all pullout areas along the highway 72 in advance of the event. At 6:15 AM, regular traffic
patterns in the canyon will close and the pilot escort plan described below will commence.
Police escort Plan: Because only the southbound lane of traffic will be open to vehicles in the canyon,
we will use a police pilot escort system to ensure that traffic flows as safely and as freely as possible.
Members of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) will take on the role of pilot escorts, with patrol
vehicles stationed at the mouth of the canyon near Mirador Drive, as well as behind the last runner to
hold traffic behind the participants. Officers will communicate and coordinate traffic flow up and down
the canyon using the southbound lane during this time (6:15 AM to 12:30 PM). The first pilot escort
will head north up the canyon at exactly 6:40 AM. The second escort will leave at exactly 7:00 AM. All
other escorts after 7:00 will occur as quickly as possible based on the ability of CHP vehicles to navigate
up and down the canyon. See Exhibit C for a graphical representation of the plan. It should also be noted
that by roughly 10:30 AM all participants will have passed the East Fork Road turnoff, thus leaving that
road completely open as a detour route.
Mountain Cove Neighborhood: Azusa PD will conduct a separate escort between the vehicle staging
area and the Mountain Cove community, taking residents of Mountain Cove to their homes. An Azusa
PD officer will walk the line of waiting vehicles and direct Mountain Cove residents to wait in an
expedited line to be taken with this escort.
Sag Wagon: To ensure that the time frames listed above are adhered to, a sag wagon (staff escort
vehicle) will collect all participants who are still on the course in the canyon at 12:30 p.m. and escort
them to the mouth of the canyon.
Communication in the Canyon
Because cellular and satellite phones do not function well in the canyon, the CHP communication channels will
be used as the primary source of communication. The pilot escort vehicles traveling up and down the canyon
will also act as messengers to relay important information to the aid stations along the route if necessary.
Access for Emergency Vehicles
If it becomes necessary for emergency vehicles to enter or exit the canyon, they will be able to do so at any
time. Using the CHP communications channel, word will be sent that emergency vehicles will be entering the
canyon. If, at the time of emergency, the escort train is traveling north up the canyon, nothing will obstruct the
path of the emergency vehicles. The north-bound escort train will simply be instructed to continue up the
canyon and the next south-bound escort train will be instructed to not leave until the emergency has been
cleared.
If at the time of emergency the escort train is traveling south down the canyon, measures will be taken to ensure
that emergency vehicles have open access on their way up. Communication will be sent via CHP that
emergency vehicles will be entering the canyon. The pilot escort will stop the escort train and direct vehicles to
pull to the shoulder. CHP will then direct runners to move to the opposite shoulder in their lane. The escort train
will remain parked in southbound lane and runners will be moved to the shoulder of the northbound lane until
the emergency vehicle has passed. During this time, CHP will direct participants to continue single-file along
the shoulder until the situation has cleared.
As noted above, it should be remembered that by roughly 10:30 all participants will have passed the East Fork
Road turnoff, thus leaving that road completely open as a detour route.
We have engaged Care Ambulance to provide three ambulances for the event. One ambulance will be stationed
at the finish venue. Another ambulance will be stationed at the bottom of the canyon near the pilot escort
staging area, and a third ambulance will constantly follow behind the last runner. The middle ambulance will be
used to respond to participant emergencies that occur in the canyon unless the rear ambulance is in closer
proximity. This middle ambulance will be stationed near the CHP officers at the pilot escort staging area so that
the CHP communications channels can be used to alert the ambulance of transport needs.
Traffic Control in Azusa
Once exiting the canyon, runners will continue south on Azusa Ave. The entire east side of the road will be
closed and reserved for runners. After crossing Sierra Madre runners will continue on the east side of Azusa
Ave using the #3 lane. The #2 (center) lane will also be closed as a buffer between vehicles and runners. Only
the #1 lane (far west) will be open to northbound traffic. “No Parking” signs will be posted along Azusa Ave 72
hours before the event. The portion of Azusa Ave between the tracks & 9th St will be tapered down to one lane.
The portion of 9th St between Azusa Ave & Palm Dr will be entirely closed to traffic for the duration of the
event and will be a no-parking zone. Also, the portion of Palm Dr between E Promenade & Foothill Blvd will
be entirely closed to traffic for the duration of the event. Residents of Sierra Palms will be directed to use
Foothill Blvd rather than Palm Dr to enter and exit.
The finish venue (see Exhibit A) will require a complete closure of Alameda Ave north of Foothill Blvd,
adjacent to City Hall and Azusa PD.
In general, residents living east of Azusa Ave and north of 9th St will be encouraged to travel east on Sierra
Madre Ave to enter and exit the area in order to avoid the race route. In the days leading up to the event, all
residents living in the surrounding area will receive a postcard in the mail detailing the road closures and detour
plans.
Aid Station and Participant Support Plan
Aid stations will be established approximately every two miles along the entire race route. On Highway 39, aid
stations will be located at turnoff points adjacent to the northbound lane so as to not obstruct the highway. In the
urban areas, aid stations will be located on large sidewalks or shoulders along the race route.
Each aid station (consisting of multiple portable drink tables and restrooms) will be manned by several event
volunteers. Volunteers will ensure that runners are able to get proper nutrition and hydration when needed. All
aid stations will be supplied with adequate water and Gatorade. Select aid stations will be supplied with fresh
fruit, gels, and other amenities. In planning supplies for nutrition and hydration, we will plan our quantities
based on the maximum possible intake per runner, and then add a contingency surplus to ensure that the risk
dehydration and exhaustion is minimized.
Each aid station along the route will be equipped with first aid kits. Volunteers and staff will be instructed
concerning the use of these first aid kits. In addition, select aid stations will be accompanied by medical aid
stations. Medical aid stations will be staffed by trained medical personnel (courtesy of American Medical
Response) who will be capable of assisting participants with serious issues and/or emergencies. Medical cots
and extensive supplies will be on hand. The medical aid stations are marked with an *asterisk* in Exhibit D
below.
In case of extreme cold weather, participants will be supplied with gloves and heating blankets to be used at the
starting venues and during the race if desired. If at any point a participant is incapable of continuing down the
canyon, they may elect to be picked up by the rear sag wagon and escorted down the route.
See Exhibit D for aid station locations and supplies. See Exhibit E for a sample aid station layout.
Finish Venue Medical Plan
A large medical area will be established at the finish venue, as part of the finisher corral. This medical area will
be staffed by several EMTs and other medical staff. They will be equipped with all necessary medical supplies
including emergency supplies. In addition, an ambulance will be on hand at the finish venue and will have
unrestricted access to outside roads if it becomes necessary to transport any participants to Foothill Presbyterian
Hospital.
Sanitation Plan
Portable restrooms will be set up in conjunction with each aid station along the route (every two miles). They
will also be set up at both starting lines as well as at the finish venue. Restroom quantities in all cases will be
determined based upon usage estimates from the supplying company, which will always adhere to health code
requirements, plus a safety surplus.
Abundant trash bins will be located at both starting lines, each aid station, and at multiple locations at the finish
venue. Each location will be equipped with several extra industrial trash bags per bin. Event staff will be present
at each aid station, the finish line, and both starting lines to ensure that trash bins remain accessible and that
trash bags are changed when necessary.
Immediately following the start of the event, hired clean-up truck crews will begin to remove all trash and other
items (including aid station tables and supplies and course signage) from the race route. Trash will be removed
entirely from the canyon and taken to the city waste yard rather than using the forest waste facilities. Our aim is
to leave no trace whatsoever of our event.
Insurance
We have obtained a $5,000,000 insurance policy which covers every participant and volunteer associated with
this event through the Henry Ham Insurance Agency.

Exhibit C: Police Escort Plan & Timetable
Because only one lane of traffic will be open to vehicles in the canyon, we will use a police escort system to
ensure that traffic flows as safely and as freely as possible. Members of the California Highway Patrol (CHP)
will take on the role of pilot escorts, with patrol vehicles stationed at the mouth of the canyon near Mirador
Drive, as well as behind the last runner to hold traffic behind the participants. The Northbound lane of CA 39
will be reserved for runners, and the southbound lane will become two-way traffic. Parking restrictions will be
placed along the west side of CA 39 to ensure two-way traffic will be possible. Officers will communicate and
coordinate traffic flow up and down the canyon using the southbound lane during this time (6:15 AM to 12:30
PM).
