A new race course includes unfamiliar road closures - check out the route map. If you live or do business in and around the route, follow these tips:
Plan ahead! Leave before 8:30 am when streets begin to close or plan for a potential 10-20 minute delay.
Head North! If you are planning on traveling by car during race times, head north out of the neighborhood where delays will be minimal.
Spread the Word! Share run and road-closure info widely with employees, residents and the general public.

17th Ave Closure Impacts City Park Events
Plan Ahead and Allow Extra Travel Time
|
A construction project has closed 17th Ave going in both directions, west of Colorado Blvd to west of Jackson St. Additionally, 17th Ave between Garfield St and York St has been reduced to one lane for eastbound traffic. Parking on 17th Ave between Colorado Blvd and York Street is greatly reduced and prohibited on some stretches.
The road closure and parking restrictions are expected to last throughout the summer (find out more about the construction project) and will create transportation and parking challenges for those attending events in City Park.
City Park event goers are encouraged to walk, ride bikes and scooters or take public transportation (RTD Route 20 has been adjusted to accommodate the construction project visit the RTD website for details). If traveling by car, follow the alternative routes on the DETOURS map above and allow extra time for heavy traffic, parking and walking to the event area.
