**Interview with Officer Elena Torres of the Baruta Police Department About the Upcoming Dead People Run 7K Event**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Officer Torres. The Dead People Run 7K is just around the corner. Can you tell us how the Baruta Police are preparing for the event?
**Officer Torres:** Thank you for having me. We’re excited about the Dead People Run, which takes place on Wednesday, October 30, at 7:00 p.m. Our preparations include implementing controlled road closures starting at 6:00 p.m. We want to ensure the safety of the runners while allowing as much traffic as possible to continue moving.
**Editor:** What exactly do you mean by “controlled closures”?
**Officer Torres:** Good question! We’ll be closing certain lanes on specific roads to facilitate the runners. However, we won’t completely block any roads. For instance, on Las Mercedes’ main avenue, two lanes will be reserved for runners, while two lanes will remain open for vehicles. This way, we can maintain a flow of traffic while ensuring the safety of participants.
**Editor:** That sounds well-organized. Could you share the specific routes where these closures will take place?
**Officer Torres:** Absolutely! Runners will be using several roads, including Las Mercedes’ main avenue, La Guairita Avenue, and Río de Janeiro Avenue, among others. Each of these will have designated lanes for both runners and vehicles to ensure everyone’s safety.
**Editor:** What kind of participation are you expecting? Are there specific categories for runners?
**Officer Torres:** We anticipate a great turnout. There are seven competition categories for both male and female runners, ranging from youth ages 16-19 to seniors aged 70-99. This wide range encourages participation from various age groups.
**Editor:** What about the starting point for the race?
**Officer Torres:** The race will start and end at La Trinidad Avenue, between Paris Street and London Street, right across from Alfredo Sadel Square in Las Mercedes.
**Editor:** Sounds great! Is there anything else you’d like the public to know?
**Officer Torres:** We encourage everyone to participate or come out to support the runners. And please be mindful of the traffic changes as we approach the event. Thank you for your support!
**Editor:** Thank you, Officer Torres! We appreciate your insight and wish you all the best for the event!
