SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — This weekend, you can expect road closures and travel delays as runners join in on the 2024 Salt Lake City Marathon.
The Salt Lake City Police Department said they want to remind the public about road closures surrounding the event. They said that beginning early Saturday, April 20, 2024, “anyone living, working, or visiting Salt Lake City should expect significant and potentially lengthy road closures as participants and spectators navigate the Salt Lake City Marathon .”
There are six events planned for this Saturday — the marathon, half-marathon, bike tour and other short-distance running events.
Throughout the course, officers will be stationed to help ensure the safety of those involved.
“To ensure the safety of race participants and spectators, some segments of the racecourse require a full closure. Some of these select street closures could be in place for up to seven hours. All roadway users are encouraged to follow all posted signs and directions from officers along the racecourse,” SLCPD said.
Course maps are available online, which can give the public an idea of where areas to avoid or delay travel in if possible.
“Please use extreme caution when traveling through the area as there will be a significant increase in vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic,” SLCPD said.
