Most streets, however, will close minutes before the race, which kicks off around 7:30 a.m. Saturday.
“It’s a short window of time. People come from all across the states and five countries this year…sometimes more in a normal year…from all over the world really to experience Roanoke. We want them to have a positive experience and that starts with the community members and their understanding, getting out there to support as a spectator, and being part of the event,” said Roanoke Outside Foundation Event Director Julia Boas.
Police remind you to move your vehicles parked on these streets on Friday night.
