Roads closed for QC night marathon

MANILA, Philippines - Organizers of the first Quezon City International Marathon Night Run advised motorists that certain roads will be closed from noon today up to midnight on Sunday.

To be closed are the westbound and eastbound inner lanes of Quezon Avenue, from Sto. Domingo Church to Elliptical Road; and westbound and eastbound inner lanes of Commonwealth Avenue, starting from Elliptical Road up to Puregold Supermarket, right after the Tandang Sora flyover.

“Consistent with tradition, the race will be held at the Quezon Memorial Circle, the shrine of our city’s founding father, Manuel Luis Quezon, president of the Republic of the Philippine Commonwealth. From there, it will proceed to Quezon Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue before going back to the QMC,” Mayor Herbert Bautista said.

Business establishments along Quezon Avenue are expected to take part in the event by showcasing their products along the fun run route to spice up the “street party” celebration for the city’s 75th anniversary.
