Raleigh Drivers Brace for Road Closures Due to City of Oaks Marathon
Raleigh, NC – Motorists in Raleigh should plan ahead this Sunday as the City of Oaks Marathon will cause significant road closures throughout the morning. Several major thoroughfares inside the I-440 beltline will be affected, including a substantial portion of Hillsborough Street, as well as sections of Morgan Street, Glenwood Avenue, and Western Boulevard.
The race kicks off at 7 a.m. at the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and North Street. To facilitate the start, Glenwood Avenue will be closed between Peace Street and Hillsborough Street starting at 3 a.m. and is expected to reopen around 1 p.m.
The most impactful closure will be on Hillsborough Street, which will be shut down from the State Capitol building all the way to the I-440 North on-ramp. While most closures are anticipated to lift by 9:45 a.m., drivers should expect delays and seek alternative routes.
The 26.2-mile marathon course winds through numerous parts of the city, including downtown, Glenwood South, NC State University, Boylan Heights, and the Crabtree Valley area.
