The 25th annual Baltimore Running Festival will take place Saturday, bringing widespread road closures, parking restrictions and commercial vehicle limitations across downtown Baltimore.

More than 14,000 runners are expected to participate in this year's event, the city said .

"It's a lot of fun. I think it's the most exciting day of the year in Baltimore, everybody has good energy, everybody is positive, chatty, and the weather is good tomorrow," Vallia Cilli, a Fed Hill resident, said.

Pratt Street will be fully closed to traffic from Charles Street to Light Street beginning at 9 p.m. Friday. Some lane closures along Light Street were already underway as of Friday evening.
