This is so goddamn annoying. Every year I am blocked from even getting to work because of this stupid marathon. I just tried to cross Ward Parkway at Gregory based on what the map said would be a permissible crossing point and a police officer told me to turn around and go back the way I came. Absolutely unacceptable
