If you’re driving downtown tomorrow plan for possible delays and detours.
More than 16,000 runners are expected to fill the streets to take part in the second annual TASK Rock 'n' Roll St. Louis Marathon and Half-Marathon.
Race organizers say closures will be in effect from 6 a.m. until 2:45 p.m.
Last year the race caused some problems for residents in south St. Louis City, but St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay said he expects things to go more smoothly this year.
“Of course there will be some inconveniences, there will be some detours, there will be some disruption," Slay said. "But, this is a great event and we’re hoping that it runs very smoothly this year.”
