Forsyth County, GA – Drivers in the Johns Creek area should plan for traffic delays Saturday morning as the Ugly Pajamas 5K takes place along several local roadways, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the sheriff’s office, the road race is scheduled for Saturday, January 17, and will run from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 10:30 a.m. The event will take place in and around Johns Creek Parkway and Johns Creek Court, with runners using portions of the roadway throughout the race window.
Authorities say motorists should expect rolling delays, lane restrictions, and increased pedestrian activity during the event. Deputies will be positioned along the route to assist with traffic control and help ensure runner safety, but drivers are urged to remain alert and slow down when traveling through the area.
