An annual 10K race on Rockville Pike will shut down two lanes of the road for much of the morning of Sunday, April 26. The Pike's Peek 10K takes runners from the Shady Grove Metro station to Marinelli Road. It's set to start at 7:50 a.m. and will include post-race festivities at the finish line near the White Flint Metro station. From 6:30 a.m. until after the last runner passes, the two center lanes of Rockville Pike from Gude Drive in Rockville to Marinelli Drive will be closed to traffic. Traffic will be allowed in the right lanes at all times, though drivers won't be able to cross to the other side of the Pike when runners are on the course. Each intersection will be staffed with county or City of Rockville police officers. From 8:15 a.m.-9:15 a.m., northbound traffic on Rockville Pike will be diverted to eastbound Nicholson Lane to accommodate the post-race festival. Drivers can go east on Nicholson Lane, make a left on Nebel Street and then a left onto westbound Old Georgetown Road to return to the Pike. The finish area will be stocked with food, family activities and music. Registration is still open for the event.
