Multiple Cities Enforce Road Closures for Weekend Marathons

Several major running events are scheduled this September, resulting in significant road closures in multiple cities. The Garmin Marathon Series in Toledo on September 21 will close key streets and interstate off-ramps from Friday through Sunday afternoon to accommodate the full marathon and other races, with rolling street closures on race day. On September 14, Brookline, Massachusetts will close Harvard Street for the annual Brookline Day, a family-oriented event running from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. The same day, Washington D.C. will host the 2025 DC Half Marathon, causing numerous street closures from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., including major routes like Maine Avenue, Independence Avenue, and several parkways. Both the Metropolitan Police and United States Park Police will enforce these closures, with parking restrictions and towing for violations, and motorists are urged to seek alternative routes and prepare for delays. These events highlight community engagement through sport and local festivities but require careful travel planning to minimize disruptions.
