The Divas Half Marathon and 5K scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12, in Peachtree City will feature both a 13.1 mile loop course and a 3.1 mile loop course starting and finishing at Shakerag Knoll using both city roads and the cart path.

The event will start at 7:15 a.m. with the 5K race, followed by the half marathon starting at 7:30 a.m. All events will conclude no later than 11:30 a.m.

The event will follow a rolling enclosure, which means that traffic will be affected for a short period starting about 15 minutes before the first runner enters a section and ending about 15 minutes after the last runner leaves that section. Runners will be off most roads and on the cart path by 9:10 a.m. and Peachtree City safety officials will reopen the roads as soon as race operations cease.

Certain sections of the cart paths will be affected 8:10-11:30 a.m. and residents are asked find alternate path routes while runners are on the path. Race officials have posted a detailed map of the race route, showing the times when runners will be in the different sections of the race route. This map can be found at www.runlikeadiva.com/closures. However, the following is a summary of roads which will be affected by the route during the designated times:

McIntosh Trail from Fishers Luck to Skiff Trace: 6 a.m.-noon

McIntosh Trail from Skiff Trace to S Peachtree Pkwy: 6-8:10 a.m.

McIntosh Trail from S Peachtree Pkwy to Robinson Rd (westbound lane only): 7:30-8:15 a.m.

Robinson Rd between McIntosh Trail and Crosstown Dr (southbound lane only): 7:15-8:25 a.m.

Robinson Rd between Crosstown Dr and S Peachtree Pkwy (southbound lane only): 7:40-8:45 a.m.

Robinson Rd between S Peachtree Pkwy and Holly Grove Rd (southbound lane only): 7:50-9:05 a.m.

Holly Grove Rd between Robinson Rd and Aster Ridge Tr (southbound lane only): 7:55-9:15 a.m.

Further, there will be some additional delays on Cameron Trail at the cart path crossing from 8:30-10:30 a.m. and on McIntosh Trail at the cart path crossing just west of Robinson Rd from 8:35-10:35 a.m., as runners will be crossing thru these areas during those times.

Race officials ask residents and businesses to follow the detours and instructions from race representatives to ensure a safe event for the participants and the residents. They also suggest planning an earlier start during those times to avoid delays. Residents can contact race organizers with any questions at [email protected].
