The Country Music Marathon & ½ Marathon course will be set up and all police and traffic controllers will be on post by 6:00 AM. Vehicles will not be allowed to drive on the course and all detours will be in place. Cars can be “metered” across the course and in some cases can be permitted to drive on the course for short distances. At 6:45 AM the course is closed. During the race, cars can be metered across the course as deemed safe by the police officers at that location and there are no runners in the immediate area. Please be patient with traffic officials and they will meter you through as quickly as possible.
