The race kicks off a 7 a.m. and runners will circle around the park, head to Rosa Parks and then to James Robertson Parkway. They'll then make their way down Church Street from 7th all the way to 21st Avenue and eventually down Elliston Place, up 25th Avenue, to Park Plaza and 31st before turning around and heading back.
Because runners will pass I-40, two off ramps will shut down at 7 a.m., including east and westbound I-40 to Church Street.
Expect the ramps and most of the roads to reopen on a rolling basis when runners have passed through – by 10:30 a.m. at the latest. Click here for more information on road closures.
