The public is reminded about the following road closures and other event information for the Pasadena Half-Marathon happening from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Sunday, June 30, 2013.

On Race Day only, the public telephone number to call with day-of-event questions about street closures, parking, towed vehicles or sound complaints is (626) 584-6538.

Pasadena’s Public Safety departments have worked diligently with event producers and other city departments to produce a comprehensive action plan for this event, including traffic and crowd control and emergency response. Any suspicious activity should be reported to Pasadena Police or on-scene public safety personnel. “If You See Something, Say Something” is an instrumental component in working to keep the Pasadena community safe, every day.

The Start and Finish line is at Pasadena City College. The half marathon begins at 6:30 a.m., followed by the 10k and 5k starting at 7:00 a.m. and a special Kids Run at 8:00 a.m. The Finish Line Festival is from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

All streets slated for barricades or closure will be closed no later than 5:30 a.m. on Race Day.
