Yes, you can get to FELC during the marathon!
The Austin Marathon returns on Sunday, February 18. Race day road closures will begin at 2 a.m., and may continue along the route as late as 2 p.m, depending upon location. Pre-race day closures will occur downtown starting at 4 p.m. on Friday, February 16th on Congress Ave. between Cesar Chavez and 11th St.The route for the race will be similar to recent years.
While this makes getting to the church building more difficult, here’s the way to get to FELC:
- Use MLK exit from I-35 and turn west. There is no access to FELC from MoPac.
- Turn north on Trinity St. into the UT campus. It quickly becomes San Jacinto.
- Follow San Jacinto through the UT campus to Dean Keeton St.
- Turn left on Dean Keeton.
- Turn right on Speedway.
- Turn left on 30th St.
