Elyria is setting the stage for a tribute to our veterans with the upcoming REVS22K Veterans Half Marathon, slating the city's streets to be trod by the soles of those running in honor. Scheduled for Saturday, November 8, the event requires significant road closures that will affect morning commuters and local traffic.
As announced in a social media post by the City of Elyria, Ohio, the marathon commencing at the break of dawn necessitates the temporary shutdown of various corridors. Starting at approximately 5:00 a.m., routes, inclusive but not restricted to Middle Avenue – from 16th Street to Broad Street, and Broad Street – stretching from Court Street to East Avenue, shall be sealed off to regular traffic. Additionally, Washington Avenue is to join the list, from Broad Street to Hamilton Street.
