Five Road Closures in Mentor Scheduled During Lake Health Marathon

The Lake Health Northern Ohio Marathon begins at 7:30 a.m. Sunday

The Lake Health Northern Ohio Marathon starts and finishes in Fairport Harbor, the majority of it runs through Mentor.

The event begins at 7:30 a.m. Sunday and will initially enter Mentor at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard and State Route 44. The marathon and half-marathon will close five streets in Mentor to varying degrees, according to the Mentor Police Facebook page. Here are the closures:

  • Jordan Drive, eastbound, will be closed from roughly 7:45 am to noon.
  • Lake Shore Boulevard, westbound between State Route 44 and Corduroy Road, will close from approximately 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.
  • Market Street's westbound lane will be closed during the race, though two-way traffic will be maintained with traffic cones. 
  • Two-way traffic will be maintained on Bellflower Road. Cones will separate the traffic from the participants, who will run on the north side.
  • The right lane of Reynolds Road., northbound, from Bellflower Road to Lakeshore Boulevard, will be closed. The left northbound lane will remain open.
Police will be at main intersections for traffic control. Click here for the marathon's route map and here for the half-marathon.
