Augusta Half Marathon will cause road closures

The 2022 Augusta Half Marathon/10K/5K will be held from 7:15 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 26. It will begin and end at the Augusta Common (836 Reynolds St). There will be traffic impacts in and around Downtown Augusta, Olde Town, Augusta University Medical District, Summerville, Lakemont/Lake Olmstead and the Augusta Canal. As a result, Augusta residents, businesses and those visiting the city will potentially be affected – to varying degrees — by these impacts. Residents and businesses along the route have received a mailer with all affected roads and contact information for the Augusta Sports Council.
