The City of Santa Clarita is expected to host the 2018 Santa Clarita Marathon this weekend, and residents and commuters are encouraged to plan ahead to know which roads will be closed.

The public can expect rolling road and parking lot closures periodically for both days to accommodate the races.

City workers have mapped out detours for major road closures so residents can find alternate routes to their destinations.

Runners are scheduled to run a majority of the marathon on city multi-use trails to reduce the amount of street closures, which include West River Trail, South Fork Trail, Chuck Pontius Commuter-Rail Trail, Valencia Paseos and San Francisquito Trail.  

Residents who regularly use affected trails are asked to make adjustments to their outdoor schedules until the conclusion of all events to accommodate competitors.

Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station personnel are set to control intersections for residents living in the affected areas.

The following closures are set to be in effect for Saturday, November 3:

• Magic Mountain Parkway from Tourney Road to Valencia Boulevard will be closed from 5 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Use Valencia Boulevard or Bouquet Canyon Road as a detour.
• McBean Parkway from Creekside Road to Valencia Boulevard will be closed from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Use Creekside Road to Valencia Boulevard as a detour.
