Because of the event, traffic on these roads will be controlled from 4:45 AM to 9:00 AM.
Emergency vehicles will still be able to move freely, but other traffic might be stopped or diverted depending on how many people are around.
The goal of the event is to encourage people to be fit and healthy and to bring together the armed forces and the public.
