On Sunday, May 4, the Greater Sudbury Police Service will be assisting with traffic control during the Sudbury Rocks!!! Marathon for the Canadian Diabetes Association. 

All events, including the full 42 km marathon, will be held between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. on city streets in the downtown core, including Elgin Street, Notre Dame Avenue, Lasalle Boulevard, Attlee Avenue, Gemmell Street, Falconbridge Highway, Second Avenue, Bancroft Drive and Howey Drive. 

During this time these streets will be filled with several hundred runners, marshals and logistical volunteers. Various lanes of traffic will be sectioned off with traffic pylons and police personnel will be stationed along the route to direct vehicular traffic.

Delays and inconveniences are expected to be minimal, however, motorists are asked to be mindful of other users of area roadways on Sunday morning.
