Marathon road closures

This year's Edward Hospital Naperville Marathon and Half Marathon will tread on 27 miles of streets within Naperville on Sunday, up from 9 road miles last year. Organizers say the routes cross 285 intersections, which will be staffed by volunteers and/or police. Roads will be closed on a "rolling" basis, meaning they won't close until runners are approaching and they'll reopen when all runners are past.

A new interactive detour map on the city of Naperville's website at naperville.il.us/napervillemarathon.aspx can help people determine how to get to their destinations. The city also has developed a parking and spectator guide that notes shuttle service, parking areas and preferred public spectator spots.
