The Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon will be held this Saturday. As usual, there will be no vehicles allowed along the route of the race.

The race starts bright and early at 7:30 a.m., but according to the Metropolitan Police Department, some street closures will begin as early as 2 a.m. Roads are expected to reopen at about 3 p.m.

“The public should expect parking restrictions along the street and should be guided by the posted emergency no parking signage,” MPD said in a press release. “All vehicles that are parked in violation of the emergency no parking signs will be ticketed and towed.”

MPD also noted that that the free smartphone navigation app Waze can help users avoid road closures on race weekend.

Bus detours will affect the following routes from 4:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m: 30N, 30S, 32, 33, 36, 38B, 42, 52, 54, 63, 64, 70, 79, 80, 90, 92, 96, B2, D4, D6, D8, G2, H2, H4, L2, M6, P6, S2, S4, S9, U5, U6, U7, V2, V4, X2, and X8. More information is available on WMATA’s site.

WMATA recommends riders transfer to Metrorail at the first opportunity. Riders can request a special transfer from their bus operator to continue their trip on Metrorail at no additional charge. WMATA also advises riders to expect delays and allow additional travel time.
