 Subject: MASSMAIL - Illinois Marathon  - street closures

Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students,

Over 10,000 runners will be hitting the streets on Saturday, April 11 for 
the first Illinois Marathon. Events, including a 5K run, a half-marathon, 
and the full-marathon, will start and finish on our campus.  There will 
be a number of street closures and limited traffic throughout the 
community to protect the safety of the participants.

The Illinois Marathon website has two maps showing routes and street 
closures. Please use these online maps at

travel accordingly.  Some streets will be closed all day and some during 
specific times only. The interactive map has links that display the
