The Divas Half Marathon and 5K scheduled for Sept. 10 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 from 8:10 a.m. to 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.

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.
