Jimmy Fund Walk Traffic Advisory in Hopkinton

The early morning walkers will impact traffic in the city on Sunday.

On Sunday an estimated 8,500 people will be walking in the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk which begins in Hopkinton.

Among those participating will be people from both Hopkinton and Holliston. If you are not among those participating in the event it will still likely impact your ability to get around town on Sunday.

The following is a release from the Hopkinton Police Department regarding traffic on Sunday:

Walkers will start to arrive in Hopkinton at 5 AM and begin their “rolling-start” shortly afterwards. The walkers arrival and departure ending time is expected to be 8 a.m. 

Ash St. from Park St. to Main St., as well as Marathon Way will be detoured during this event. Parking spaces on both sides of Main St. from Ash St. to Hayden Rowe St. will be coned off.  

Police officers will be on duty to assist the walkers and motorists.  

We appreciate your patience and urge all motorists to use extreme caution during these hours while driving on Route 135.
