It's coming on our street Saturday and we're hoping it doesn't cause issues trying to get to work. I do plan on letting my supervisor know and really hope they are understanding. I get the whole idea of the marathon but when it causes issues for people who have to travel that day, I'm not so understanding. Hopefully we can get out and on our way before they get to our area in the morning.

Yes, if you need to get out, you have to get out a bit earlier. I do not know if there is road closure for the event, if there is, you have to get out before the road close. Over here, many major events will result in road closure.

I would be willing to do that but I ride with my son and getting him out that early is near impossible.

@irishidid True, especially when it is a Saturday, and everyone sleeps in, and you want to wake him up.

I hope you can get it sorted out and your boss will sponsor your run in the marathon.

I'm not running in the marathon. I've got to get to work through the mess it will create.

Knowing management, they will say just start for work even earlier.

It really depends on how busy we are on Saturday. I work at a hotel so they may just say stay the night. LOL
