TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURES & DELAYS ON RACE DAY

During race day, more than 4,000 Credit Union Queen City Marathon participants from throughout Canada and the United States will be running and walking across a 42.2-kilometer course that covers the length and breadth of Regina. Also out on the course will be hundreds of dedicated volunteers.

We understand that this international event affects your Sunday driving routine for one day each year and we sincerely apologize in advance for any temporary disruption. Your patience, courtesy and good humour are gratefully appreciated by our hundreds of local volunteers and by the thousands of participants from all across North America. Let’s show them the kind of gracious support and hospitality that makes Regina such a great city!

The current Credit Union QCM course has been developed through on-going consultation with the City of Regina, Regina Police Service, Wascana Centre Authority and Wascana Centre Police. For the safety of our thousands of participants and hundreds of volunteers, certain roads and areas in and around the course and start/finish area will either be temporarily closed to traffic or be subject to controlled traffic delays. Please yield to police, participants, volunteers and spectators.

Regina Police Service, Wascana Centre Police and Credit Union QCM marshals will be stationed at various points along the course.

We respectfully ask all vehicles to yield to participants, spectators and volunteers.

Please obey any instructions to slow, stop or divert, as requested. Your cheerful patience is very much appreciated!

The Credit Union QCM organizers thank the City of Regina, Regina Police Service, Wascana Centre Authority, Wascana Centre Police, RQHR EMS, St. John Ambulance, Guardian Traffic Services and South Country Equipment for their on-course safety support.

Most especially, we thank YOU, the citizens of Regina, for making our participants, volunteers and guests feel safe and welcome in Regina, home of the Credit Union Queen City Marathon, Saskatchewan’s premiere running and walking event!
