Siclovia, the event that allows walkers, riders and skaters to take over San Antonio streets, has been delayed due to expected inclement weather.
The event was set to happen on Sunday, April 12, but the weather forecast calls for strong thunderstorms possible all weekend. Organizers have rescheduled the event to May 3.
This year’s event runs along a stretch of Broadway from downtown to just north of downtown. The event is free and open to the community and turns the streets into a safe place for exercise and play. Participants can bike, run, skateboard or anything else they want to do without fear of cars.
It also features Reclovias along the way providing information and enterrainment. The Reclovia areas include free group exercise classes, free live music, places to eat, water stations, and rest areas. Restrooms will be strategically placed along the route as well. The event is also open to pets, but organizers ask that you keep them on a leash.
This year’s route will span from McCullough Ave at KLRN studios parking lot, featuring Reclovias at River North parking lot (Make Ready Market), Maverick Park, Lions Field, and Mulberry Avenue at Brackenridge Park. This year’s event is also celebrating the YMCA of Greater San Antonio’s 150th anniversary.
For drivers that day, the roads to be completely closed one hour before the event and reopened one hour after the event is over.
