Extra Officers Will Be On Duty For Sunday’s Good Life Halfsy
LINCOLN–(KFOR Nov. 3)–Extra Lincoln Police officers and other area law enforcement will be on patrol Sunday morning, for the 10th annual Good Life Halfsy half-marathon, which will start at Seacrest Field near 70th and “A” and end on Canopy Street in Lincoln’s Railyard District.
LPD Lt. Brian Golden tells KFOR News if you have any necessary travel plans that would take you through the area to consider an alternate route.
