Look around at the KC Marathon today . . . Nobody will be as hot as Adrianne Palicki dressed up like Wonder Woman.
In any event . . .
CHECK A QUICK GUIDE IN ORDER TO AVOID THE HAVOC CREATED BY A GROUP OF SELFISH KANSAS CITY RUNNERS AND THEIR EGOTISTICAL EFFORT TO BRING TRAFFIC TO A STANDSTILL IN THIS TOWN!!!
Again, maybe it'll help a good cause but it's just another example on the streets of this cowtown that SPECIAL INTERESTS RUN KANSAS CITY!!!
Police warn motorists of road closures associated with marathon Saturday
The Kansas City Police Department wants to make area motorists aware of extensive road closures that will be associated with the Kansas City Marathon on Saturday, Oct. 15.
The race will start at 7:05 a.m. The start and finish point of the race will be across from Crown Center at 22nd Street and Grand Boulevard. Multiple races will be taking place, including a full marathon, a half marathon, 5K and kids’ race. The full marathon route runs as far as 11th Street to the north to 75th Street to the south, and Ward Parkway to the West and Paseo Boulevard to the east. The route map is attached, and more information is available at www.waddellandreedkansascitymarathon.org.
The first half of the route will be closed at the start of the race. As officers have the last runner pass by their location, they will move to the second half of the route. Officers will allow cross traffic through the route at intersections if there is a safe distance between runners. No other traffic will be allowed on the route.
Runners in the race have a six-hour time limit, so with the exception of the staging area at Crown Center, the race route should reopen by 1:30 p.m. Police advise drivers to avoid the race area if at all possible on Saturday.

ReplyDeleteYOU ARE ALL WINNERS!!
ReplyDeleteGet that 26.2 sticker, you've earned it, girlfriend!!
Nobody has quite explained to me how a group of largely white, recreational athletes gets to shut down a huge chunk of a city for several hours several times a year to pursue their sport.
ReplyDeleteOn top of that, the very race they are commemorating wasn't run in a big circle around the paved streets of Athens.
Any updates on what is closed/open now? I don't want to have to wait until late this afternoon to run my errands.
ReplyDeleteI think the cops said the city would be open for business again at 1:30 p.m.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of these years somebody will sponsor a one block waddle so your fat ass can compete.
