Temporary street closures and parking restrictions will be in effect for the 3rd Annual Oakland Running Festival which takes place on Sunday, March 25, 2012.

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and either time their travel to avoid street closures or seek alternative routes using the online map. All highway and interstate routes will remain open throughout the marathon. Motorists should use special caution and look out for both pedestrians and changes in traffic patterns. All parking restrictions will be strictly enforced and vehicles parked in violation will be ticketed and/or towed. Transit users should note that BART will not be impacted by course closures.

Last year the 2011 Oakland Running Festival attracted 7,200 runners from 37 states and 6 countries. An estimated $3 million in revenue was generated for local hotels, restaurants, retailers, transportation companies and entertainment venues. In addition to injecting dollars into the local economy, the festival introduces visitors to Oakland’s diverse neighborhoods and scenic beauty.

Hosted by the City of Oakland, the Oakland Running Festival is produced and fully funded by Corrigan Sports Enterprises (CSE), which also produces the renowned Baltimore Running Festival. CSE reimburses the City for all municipal services, including police provided in conjunction with the festival.

Motorists may report traffic concerns related to the Oakland Running Festival by sending an email to the City’s special events coordinator Jim MacIlvaine, at jimmac@oaklandnet.com or by calling (510) 238-2933.
