Road closures and parking will be among the concerns for the locals and runners travelling around Nottingham during the Robin Hood Half Marathon. We’ve put together a list of everything you need to know about getting there, as well as parking and facilities available on-site, ahead of the start of the event on Sunday, September 24 at 9.30am.
If you’re travelling by car to the event, or trying to get around anywhere in the city, you should be aware of a number of road closures throughout the city on the day of the half marathon event. The closures on Sunday include: Parking There are two official race car parking sites all within easy walking distance of the Race Village. The first is the Victoria Embankment, where a limited amount of car parking will be available on part of the Recreation Ground, on a first come first served basis.
This car park has no entry or exit time restrictions. However, the marathon organisers have warned it will fill up very quickly and there may be minor delays in leaving due to its closeness to the Race Village. The car park at Nottingham Forest FC is the second official parking location, costing £3 per car. There are also restrictions on where people can park on some streets, with no waiting allowed on three Nottingham roads.
