Advisory of Potential Traffic Impacts – Divas Half-Marathon Sunday Morning June 1st

The Divas Half Marathon Series is one of the fastest growing women’s running/walking half-marathons in the US. On Sunday morning, June 1st, the Divas will be hosting a Half-Marathon which will run through the cities of Burlingame, San Mateo, and Foster City. The race begins and ends at Bayside Park in Burlingame. The majority of the 13.1 mile race will occur on pathways and streets along the SF Bay shoreline between Coyote Point and Mariner’s Island Boulevard in San Mateo. The route enters into Foster City at Mariners Island Boulevard and J. Hart Clinton Drive, where it turns back through San Mateo to the finish line in Burlingame.

Burlingame, San Mateo, and Foster City Public Safety personnel and Divas Event Course Marshals will be positioned throughout the course to provide for safety, and assist pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the affected neighborhoods. Mobile message boards will also be in place to provide direction.

As always, local law enforcement depends on you, our community, to be our extra “eyes and ears.” Call via 911 to report any in-progress suspicious or criminal activity, and program your local police department’s phone number into your mobile devices. “If You See Something, Say Something”
