As a service to our residents, the City of Kansas City, Missouri, sends occasional notices about temporary road closures due to outdoor races to help residents better plan their weekends and avoid inconvenient road closures or delays. This weekend, three races will affect traffic throughout Kansas City. Please note, police are prepared to allow motorists to cross the routes when they deem it safe for the participants.
Please observe caution and obey all posted detours, barricades and no parking signs.
