Drivers: Plan ahead. The sold-out Richmond Marathon will bring over 21,000 runners and widespread road closures to the city Saturday, with some restrictions starting Thursday.

Also new: The full marathon sold out faster than ever, with all 7,200 spots claimed by June, per Sports Backers. The closures: Fifth Street between Bragg and Byrd will close Thursday at 6pm while additional stretches close Friday at 10am and noon. All reopen Saturday at 6pm. Newly listed Saturday closures include Seventh and 10th streets, Brown's Island Way and Princeton Road, with varying hours between 4am and 6pm. Zoom in: Other affected roads include Broad Street, Monument Avenue, Arthur Ashe, Brook Road and Forest Hill Avenue.
