Manitoba Marathon to force road closures this weekend

The Manitoba Marathon has arrived, which means Winnipeggers need to be aware of some traffic closures this weekend.

The city said Chancellor Matheson Road will be closed from 8 a.m. Saturday until 3 p.m. Sunday between Research Way and University Crescent.

Come race day Sunday, University Crescent will be completely closed between Chancellor Matheson and Pembina Highway. Drivers won’t be able to access eastbound Jubilee Avenue from Pembina and there will be scattered partial closures on Wellington as the marathon route now goes through there.

Transit routes will be rerouted, and people can look for updates on X.

The entire Manitoba Marathon route can be found online.
