Parking + Closures

Plan Ahead for Race Day

Race Day is one of the most exciting days of the year in downtown Peoria, and with thousands of runners, spectators, volunteers, and community members attending, we encourage everyone to plan ahead before arriving.

To ensure the easiest access to downtown, we strongly recommend arriving before 7:00 AM. Several road closures will be in effect after 7:00 AM and may result in significant traffic delays.

Please review the parking information and road closures below to help make your Race Day experience as smooth as possible.

Road Closures

Please review the road closure information carefully before Race Day. Several closures differ from previous years and may result in significant traffic delays after 7:00 AM.

Whether you're participating in the race, cheering on runners, volunteering, or visiting downtown, understanding the road closure schedule will help you plan your route and avoid delays.

Parking Information

Before 7:00 AM

Participants and spectators are encouraged to utilize downtown meter parking, downtown Peoria parking garages, and other public parking options shown on the map below.

Arriving before 7:00 AM will provide the greatest access to parking options closest to the Start Line and help avoid delays caused by road closures.

After 7:00 AM

Due to race-related road closures, parking is recommended in Lots 9, 14, 18, 19, and 25, which can be accessed directly from Kumpf Boulevard via the map below.

Please note: These parking lots are approximately a 12-minute walk from the Start Line.

We recommend allowing extra time for parking, walking to the Start Line, and navigating downtown on Race Day morning.
