The City of Naperville reminds residents and interested parties of the upcoming street closures and parking restrictions that will be in effect throughout the Naperville Sprint Triathlon taking place at 7 AM on Sun., Aug. 4.
The triathlon starts and ends at Centennial Beach near downtown Naperville. A color-coded map of the race route, times and locations of street closures, parking restrictions and tow-away zones is available at www.naperville.il.us/walkrun.aspx.
The triathlon route streets will be closed beginning at approximately 6AM and remain closed until approximately 11:30AM. The race route only will be a no parking, tow zone from 5AM to noon on that day and notice will be posted accordingly. The streets of the race route are re-opened to vehicular traffic and the no parking, tow zone signs removed as soon as the Naperville Police Department determines it is appropriate based on public safety.

Editor’s Note: From now through Thanksgiving Day when the Noon Lions Club hosts it annual Turkey Trot 5K, many walks and runs are planned at various locations in Naperville. Most are family-friendly events that benefit a worthy cause or two. Registration is now in progress for many of those events.
Be mindful that these events come with street closures. Note the first-ever Naperville Marathon, already sold out, is Sun., Nov. 10.
Find the listing for Runs and Walks on this website that also features the schedule for running events throughout the year that begins with the St. Paddy’s Day 5K in March, hosted by the Rotary Club of Naperville/Sunrise. Thanks.
