Road Closure Schedule

For up to date road closure information and closure avoidance we recommend using the WAZE app who have partnered with the California International Marathon to make your drive on race day more enjoyable.

The road closure grid below is based on a 3:00 min/mile pace for the first racers (hand crank wheelchair) and approximately a 13:44 min/mile pace for the slowest runners. Important notes:

• After the first, very fast handcrank wheelchair racer, there will be large gaps between other racers, and intersections staffed by law enforcement may very carefully wave through traffic, when possible.
• Slower runners might fall behind the reopen times shown below. In such cases, the runners are pedestrians responsible for heeding normal traffic laws.
• Regular traffic will be allowed on the course by the CHPs reopening the course according to the times in the table below.
• Folsom-Auburn Road to the north of the start area is closed to through traffic at the intersection of Eureka Road beginning at 3:00am and reopening at 9:30am. Only vehicles taking runners to the start will be allowed past the Eureka Road intersection.
• The Capitol Mall between 8th St and 9th St will be closed beginning at 8:00am on Friday, 12/4 until 5:00pm on Sunday, 12/6.
• 8th St and 9th St between N St and L St will be closed beginning at 2:00pm on Friday, 12/4 until 5:00pm on Sunday, 12/6.
• 10th St between N St and L St will be closed beginning at 6:00pm on Friday, 12/4 until 5:00pm un Sunday, 12/6.
• The California Highway Patrol mandates the road closures and has ultimate authority on executing the closing and opening of the roads during CIM.
• The road closure schedule below is subject to change on race day.
