The Southampton Village Police Department is warning that travelers should expect “sporadic travel delays” during the 16th annual Hamptons Marathon & Half taking place on Saturday, September 22, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The annual event, which includes a 5K run, a half-marathon and a full marathon, will be run “south of Hill Street and Hampton Road in the Village,” said Lt. Christopher Wetter. Leland Lane will be closed for the event.
Village Police are urging motorists to “steer clear of this area if at all possible,” and what while most roads will be open to traffic, motorists are being encouraged to “proceed with extreme caution,” so as not to run into a runner during this popular event, described by Runners Magazine as a “Bucket List Must Do.”
“With our fast and flat course,” organizers said, “you can set your next personal best or join other racers on the quest to earn a Boston qualifying time,” in reference to the annual Boston Marathon.
