It’s a total weekend event which begins on Thursday at the meet and greet. I loved the exercise classes at the expo and the lululemon giveaways. The race itself was well organized and it’s Atlanta so yes there are hills. The swag was top notch I loved the party before and after the race

This race is a must! It was amazing to be amongst my brothers and sisters running the streets of ATL. The expo was great, and the after-party was off the chain. I would definitely recommend it!

Packet pickup is a party. Speakers and DJs and yoga classes. And the vendors! The Race particularly aims at local black owned businesses. I didn’t just buy from them. I had a conversation with them. It’s that kind of event.
You can buy extra gear to rep The Race all year. Jacket, hat, extra shirt. And there is a day of service the day after.
The course is pretty hilly but does include part of the belt line, so Art Work! Party after the race too. You will think after 13.1 you have no energy. Put on some Frankie Beverly and prove yourself wrong!
ABSOLUTELY A VIBE!!!

This was not only a race, but it was an experience for all in attendance. The red carpet was laid out for the full weekend. If you have not ran this race make sure you mark your calendar for next year to experience the greatness of the culture, but make sure you train on the hills.
Back At It!

My first half after a 7 year break. Wow what an experience! Expo was live, communication via email and social media was excellent. Watch for the hill on mile 12 but the finishers area was rockin! Definitely a repeat race for me!

This race was really great!! It was like a family reunion with a lot of your social media followers/friends. Great run course, great volunteering, cheer squads. There was a warm up before the race with stretching and moving. I would definitely do this race again.

This 5k was a hilly 5k but if you train on hills you should have no issues. There were 3 water stops and plenty of crowd support. There is a large hill leading into the finish line.
