Driving and parking around Rosslyn, Crystal City and other parts of Arlington could become a particularly challenging experience later this month.
Several streets in the county are set to close to traffic for the 41st Marine Corps Marathon Sunday, Oct. 30.
The race is scheduled to start about 7:55 a.m. on Route 110 between the Pentagon and Arlington Memorial Drive. Thousands of people then are expected to run on a 26.2-mile course through Arlington and the District.
During the marathon, Crystal City is slated to have an all-day family party with moon bounces, face paintings and crafts. Rosslyn also is set to throw a finish festival with live music and a beer garden.
