Guide to Road Closures and Parking for the Cleveland Marathon Weekend
The annual Cleveland Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K will bring thousands of runners and spectators to downtown this weekend. Road closures will be in effect throughout the city, potentially affecting commutes for those not participating in the event.

To ensure the safety of runners, drivers, and cyclists, several road closures will be implemented. Runners should plan ahead as many roads will close early in the morning. It is advised that all runners arrive downtown by 6:30 a.m. on Saturday and 6 a.m. on Sunday. Public parking lots are available for participants, with recommended areas near the start/finish line.
Parking options close to the start/finish line include the Huntington Park Garage, Willard Parking Garage, 200 Public Square Garage, Rockwell Garage, 515 Euclid Ave, Galleria Garage, Memorial Plaza Garage, and Aecom Parking Garage (Saturday only). These locations offer convenient access to the event and varying rates for parking.
In conclusion, the Cleveland Marathon is a highly anticipated event that brings together runners and supporters from near and far. With road closures in place, participants and spectators are encouraged to plan their routes and parking in advance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience during race weekend.
