Be Prepared for Sunday's Adidas City Run
Nearly all Fulham's roads to close and traffic diverted throughout morning
Residents are being reminded that this Sunday, 17 November, will see roads across Fulham shut down for the second Adidas City Run.
As the map above shows, the 10 km run begins and ends at the Event Village on Eel Brook Common and takes in most of Fulham's major roads, including New King's and Fulham Roads.
This means almost every street in SW6 will be affected throughout Sunday morning. The closures are in six sectors, with the most extensive closure being sector 6, New King's Road between Munster and Wandsworth Bridge Roads which will be closed between 5.30 am and 1.30pm.
Sector 1a, New King's Road between Wandsworth Bridge Road and Harwood Road will close from 6.30am and all other sectors will close from 7.30am and reopened between aroudn 10am and midday.
You can see the full details in Roads Affected by Closures.
In their Letter to Residents, the organisers say: " The route and road closure timings have been carefully considered and selected through a partnership with the local authority, emergency services and Transport for London to minimise the inconvenience of the necessary road closures. Emergency services will be operating as usual so please follow normal procedures in the case of an emergency.
" Pedestrian footpath access will be unaffected across the event route, but there will be no vehicle or bicycle access on these roads during the road closure period. Bus diversions will also be in place for the event so do visit TfL to see if your journey will be affected.
"This letter includes a map (below) which details the exact road closure and reopening times, as well as key local access routes that will be available at set times. We hope this will enable movement on the morning of the event if leaving your property from a road affected by the closures. Event stewards will be in place across the route during all closure times to assist you should you need any help.
" Parking and loading will not be permitted on single yellow lines on roads on the run route. Some parking suspensions will be in place. Any vehicles parked illegally will be towed.
"We are working with social carers, local services such as meals on wheels and community nurses to facilitate access during closure times where possible. If you have plans that you think may be impacted by the planned road closures which cannot be amended, such as travel arrangements, formal events or carer responsibilities we strongly recommend residents to please contact us prior to the event and we will assist wherever possible.
"The contact details below will also be in operation on Sunday 17 November from 5.30am should unplanned requirements unfold needing assistance."
