The race is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. on the south old courthouse square in Fayetteville and wind its way over 16 miles through Fayetteville, portions of unincorporated Fayette County, Peachtree City and Tyrone. The estimated travel time for the entire Fayette County portion of the race is 41 minutes.

This event will have a substantial impact on vehicular traffic in many areas of Fayette County.
