This is a big annual race in Atlanta. Started a little late. The course is hilly and just partially closed to traffic. Volunteers and aid stations were great. Loved the post-race area. Would love a triple peach gift instead of donuts. Overall good race if you’re in the area but I wouldn’t travel for it.
HUGE Race!
I think maybe 12,000 to 15,000 people ran this race. Heck, maybe more. It was hard to tell, there were just so many. By far the biggest race I've run. … MORE
I think maybe 12,000 to 15,000 people ran this race. Heck, maybe more. It was hard to tell, there were just so many. By far the biggest race I’ve run. I arrived pretty early so I didn’t have to fight for a parking spot and ended up getting a spot in a huge nearby lot, and walked only about 2 minutes to the start line. But packet pickup was about a ten minute walk. No complaints though, it was a lively morning, which was nice.
Plenty of bathrooms, plenty of aid stations, and everything was really well organized. I may not run this one again, but only because I don’t like Atlanta traffic and it was about a 90 minute drive from home for me. But I’m glad I ran it once. It was a fun experience.
