Runner route: See which roads will be closed for the Lincoln Marathon

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — As the Lincoln Marathon approaches, city officials are going the distance to keep everyone safe.

Around 7,000 runners will begin the race at 6:55 a.m. Sunday near Memorial Stadium.

The course winds through Lincoln, showcasing the State Capitol building, the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, Holmes Lake and other notable locations.

The Lincoln Police Department will be directing traffic along the runners’ route.

One notable change this year is a full closure of 10th Street between Van Dorn and K streets.

Officials are encouraging everyone traveling through town on Sunday to prepare for delays or take a different route to avoid the race.

“I want to extend my gratitude to the residents of Lincoln as I know this race can be an inconvenience to many of you,” said Ryan Regnier of the Lincoln Track Club. “I’m extremely proud of my hometown and cannot think of a better way to showcase it to the runners and their families.”
