DOVER - The following road closures will be in effect during the annual Moms on the Run Mother's Day 5K event on Sunday.

List of road closures

 Exit 7 southbound off- and on-ramp from the Spaulding Turnpike (9:30 AM to 10:00 AM)

 Bellamy Road, in the northerly direction from Durham Road to Cataract Avenue (9:30 AM to 10:30 AM)

Event details.

The run begins at 9:30 at the Dover High School, 25 Alumni Drive in Dover.

The course ends at the same location.

It should be noted that all road closure times have been adjusted back by ½ hour than in previous years. This is because the 5K race start time has been changed from 9 to 9:30 in an effort to minimize impact to scheduled church services at Saint John's United Methodist Church on Cataract Avenue.

Motorists should expect delays at the Central Avenue/Mill Street/Exit 7 intersection, and a lane shift along Route 108 between Rutland Street and Bellamy Road. Dover police personnel and a number of event volunteers will be on hand to help manage the flow of traffic along the race route.

This event is organized by and will benefit Zebra Crossings of Dover, which provides year-round empowerment programs for children with chronic medical conditions. Questions about traffic implications may be directed to Dover Police Lt. Alex Mitrushi, Community Outreach Bureau at (603) 742-4646.
