The Urban Cow Half Marathon will be causing closures on multiple streets in and near Sacramento’s Land Park neighborhoods Sunday morning.

The race will see about 3,000 runners and walkers from its start time of 7:30 a.m. to its anticipated closure of 11:30 a.m, according to the City of Sacramento.
Roads are expected to be cleared by that 11:30 a.m. closing time.
The city recommends that residents of Land Park neighborhoods review the city’s exit plan, which lists each area’s opening and exiting time. The plan has details on how to exit each neighborhood and states the following:
▪ Area 1 will be impacted from 8:20 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. As a result, Riverside Boulevard from the Westin Hotel to 11th Avenue will be shut down. It is recommended that residents exit their neighborhoods from South Land Park Drive. The intersection of Land Park Drive and 13th Avenue will be closed 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
