Goodlife Marathon brings runners, traffic headaches to downtown this weekend

Marathon season is here, which means traffic headaches for Toronto drivers this weekend. 

The Goodlife Fitness Toronto Marathon runs this Sunday, May 3rd. As runners lace up, roads will be shut down to accommodate the race. 

The main portion of the race will run along Yonge from Finch to Davenport, before looping through the downtown and running along Lake shore out to South Kingsway. 

The city is warning drivers to expect lane closures from 7am to 3pm in the area bounded by Bayview, South Kingsway, Finch, and Lake Shore.  

The Gardiner ramps at Spadina and Jarvis will be shut down for the remainder of the race. There will also be no access to Bayview and Bloor from the Don Valley Parkway.  

Check out the full list of closures complete with reopening times here.
