Traffic Guide for University Catholic Center
Event Date: February 17t h, 2019, 6 AM to 3 PM
General Tips
● Assume you can’t cross the course: Crossing the marathon course with a vehicle is extremely difficult, and should be avoided. The Austin Police Department will only allow crossings at major intersections, and only when there are no runners present. ● Park strategically: If your trip starts or ends near a section of the course, sometimes the best option may be to park on the more accessible side of the course and walk. For example, if you live on southbound Chicon St., park on the northbound side of the street so that your vehicle is on the side of the street that is open to vehicle traffic. ● Use MoPac, Lamar Blvd., & I-35: These roads are unobstructed for northbound and southbound travel. ● Use Ben White Bvld. (Hwy 290) and FM 2222 (Koenig Ln.): These roads are unobstructed for eastbound and westbound travel. Also, 45th St. is open westbound between Red River & Guadalupe. ● Use Google Maps & Waze: On race day, real time traffic information can be found on sites and apps like Google Maps (m aps.google.com) and Waze (w aze.com) . The Austin Marathon street closures are submitted to these programs in advance, and they will display the closures and the associated traffic.

Austin Marathon Pace Chart
The Austin Marathon uses a rolling course closure to minimize the impact on traffic. The City of Austin will shut down all roads along the course by 6 AM on race day to ensure the course is ready for runners. Course crossings at major intersections will remain open until just before the first runner arrives. These intersections will be remain closed while runners are present and will reopen following the final runner.
The following chart shows the times that runners are projected to pass through each mile marker on the marathon course. Use this to get a rough idea of when major intersections will close and reopen.
