Ensenada race traffic

How will the traffic be travelling south through Ensenada this week?

The race starts Wednesday. When will the road by the hotel coral be closed? Is the starting point at the cultural center and will the starting area be cleared by Thursday?

take the route around town. look for signs for San Q. it's easy, we did it last year day of the race.

I took that route last year and it was a dead stop from a bit past the hotel coral all the way down reforma to costco. Maybe I wasnt there early enough but I don't want to get in that mess again.

Just use the 10th/9th street diversion to Reforma
