Numerous road closures will be in place on Sunday during the 31st annual California International Marathon, which begins at 7 a.m.
Here is a mile-by-mile look at closures along the course from near Folsom Dam to the state Capitol, provided by the marathon organizers:
1 – 5:20 a.m.-7:15 a.m. – Folsom-Auburn and Oak
2 – 5:20-7:30 – Oak and American River Canyon
There is, apparently, some kind of road race thing going on this Sunday. (In this rain?! Even the ducks are staying indoors!)
Starting at 7:00 a.m. Sunday morning, there will be 16,000 self centered “athletes” clogging up the roads and interfering with your ability to drive your SUV to the doughnut shop.
Also, if one of your loved ones has the bad judgement to be out there, slogging their way to the Capitol in the rain, and you are planning to be out there to support them, you may need to plot a circuitous route to get your where you need to be. (But really, in this weather? Can’t you love them just as much while you are snuggled in your bed?)
Whatever.
