Go! St. Louis Marathon and Family Fitness Weekend to Cause MetroBus Reroutes on Sunday
Return to BlogCue ‘Eye of the Tiger,’ because some serious athletes along with first time competitors will be hitting the streets of St. Louis this Sunday. This weekend is the 13th Annual GO! St. Louis Marathon and Family Fitness Weekend which includes a 5K Run/Walk in Forest Park on Saturday, April 6; and a Full/Half Marathon on Sunday, April 7.
The 5K run Saturday will NOT affect MetroBus routes since that event is in the eastern part of Forest Park. Participants can take MetroLink to the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station to walk over to Forest Park.
Taking MetroLink to the Go! St. Louis events on Sunday is a great way to avoid street closures and parking hassles. The Civic Center Transit Center is about two blocks away from the starting line.
MetroLink will be operating 20 minute service throughout the alignment. On Saturday and Sunday, Blue Line service will only operate from Shrewsbury to Forest Park. Red Line passengers should allow for 5 to 10 minute delays all weekend due to scheduled maintenance work.
At 7 a.m. Sunday, the marathon will proceed from Market and 14th Street to the Soulard area and return west on Market into Forest Park Parkway, through Forest Park into Clayton, University City and back to end at Chestnut and 14th Street.
Street closures will begin as early as the beginning of service on Sunday and last until 4 p.m. and will cause nearly two dozen MetroBus reroutes listed below.
