Cumming, GA – Drivers in Forsyth County should prepare for traffic delays Saturday morning as the Boulder Dash 5K takes place near the Quarry and Ronald Reagan Boulevard.
According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, the race begins at 8 a.m. Saturday and is expected to run through approximately 9:30 a.m. Officials say around 1,200 runners will participate, creating temporary road closures and slow-moving traffic in the surrounding area.
The course loops through sections of the Quarry area, with key impacts along Ronald Reagan Boulevard and nearby connecting roads. Authorities are advising motorists to plan alternate routes or allow extra travel time if driving through the area during the event window.
While no full highway closures are expected, intermittent stoppages and controlled intersections may cause backups, particularly as runners cross roadways and police manage traffic flow.
Residents and commuters in Cumming, as well as those traveling through Forsyth County and the northern Atlanta metro area, are encouraged to use caution and remain alert for signage, cones, and law enforcement directing traffic.
The Boulder Dash 5K is part of a community event aimed at promoting fitness and local engagement, but officials emphasize safety for both runners and drivers.
Motorists are reminded to slow down in event zones and remain patient as crews work to keep participants and the public safe.
