Road closures and bus route changes to know about during Sidney Seaside 10K Race

Share

Driving through Sidney this Sunday? Keep your eyes peeled for runners and road closures.

The Town of Sidney and Frontrunners are hosting a first-ever Sidney Seaside 10K Race on Sunday, September 24, 2017.

The Race includes a 10K and 5K route as well as a kid’s dash through the downtown core, looping back along the picturesque, ocean walkway and finishing back in Beacon Park.

With stunning ocean and mountain views along the route combined with a flat course and lively post-event party, it’s not surprising that registration has entirely filled up.

And though the sold-out event is sure to be a celebration of fitness and fun, it’ll also have a big effect on morning traffic.

Road closures will be in effect from 10:00 am to approximately 11:15 am.

Full road closures in both directions:

– Malaview Avenue
– Resthaven Drive
– All Bay – Bowden – Harbour Road
– Bowerbank Road
– Beacon Avenue
– A short portion of the waterfront walkway

One way closures:

– Fifth Street
– Third Street
– Mt. Baker
– Second Street

The Town of Sidney has said that they “regret any inconvenience these road closures may cause”. However, access to businesses and residents will still be available by foot.
