A 5K race in Alpharetta will force several roads in the city to close at various times Thursday night.
The city is urging drivers to avoid these areas and plan alternate routes for their evening commute. Even on roads that aren’t closed, heavy delays are expected.
The closures are necessary to ensure the safety of people participating in Alpharetta Public Safety Foundation K-9 5K Foot Chase, a qualifier for the Peachtree Road Race, the city said.
