Tag Archives: Marine Corps Marathon

This Sunday the Marine Corps Marathon will be snaking its way through Georgetown. To accommodate the race, some roads will be closed to traffic. Here’s a map of the affected streets in Georgetown:

The runners will:

• Come across the Key Bridge
• Turn left down Canal Rd.
• Stay on Canal Rd. all the way to Reservoir Rd. (where Fletcher’s is)
• Go up Reservoir Rd. back to MacArthur.
• Take MacArthur back to Canal to M St.
• Stay on M until Wisconsin, where they turn right down towards K.
• Take a left on K, take it over to Rock Creek Parkway
• Continue on to another hellish 15 miles or so as GM sleeps in.

The streets will open up as the racers finish with each section. The Georgetown section is on miles 4 through 10, so the roads should be clear by late morning.
