Here are the roads that will close for the 24 Hours of Booty event in Charlotte

It’s almost time for 24 Hours of Booty, which means some roads will be closed in Charlotte this weekend.

The charity non-competitive bicycling and walking event to raise for money for cancer centers, takes place on the Booty Loop, a popular 2.85-mile route in the Myers Park neighborhood.

In the 1990s, the route was named by a group of male cyclists “with a lighthearted appreciation for the ‘fitness levels’ of women exercising in the area,” CharlotteFive previously reported.

To protect riders and walkers, roads will be closed for the event from Friday at 6 p.m. to Saturday at 8 p.m.

Here are the roads that will be closed for the event, according to the City of Charlotte GIS website:

• Hopedale Avenue between Queens Road West and Queens Road

• Queens Road between Hopedale Avenue

• Queens Road West between East Boulevard and Selwyn Avenue

• Queens Road West between South Kings Drive and Hopedale Avenue

• Selwyn Avenue between Radcliffe Avenue and Queens Road West

You can also use the Booty Loop map at 24foundation.org to see which roads will be closed on Friday and Saturday.
