Due to running of 13^th annual United Technologies Greater Hartford Marathon – October 14, 2006-- roads used for the Marathon will be closed to vehicular traffic on Saturday, October 14, 2006.  Surrounding roads may have traffic delays.  People are advised to plan ahead and use alternate routes.  Affected roads will be impacted between 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.  Road closures will be staggered.  Reopening time is estimated, as roads will reopen after runners have exited each portion of the course.   

Residents and businesses along the route in Hartford, East Hartford and South Windsor were mailed traffic alert postcards in early September. 

A list of affected roads is below.  A map of the marathon, half marathon and 5K race course is available at
