Getting to the Races On Time!

Half Marathon: Because of the large crowd at the Half Marathon, plan to arrive NO LATER THAN 6:15AM (or earlier if possible). The start & finish are located near MARTA rail stations. We STRONGLY urge runners to take MARTA to the start because of traffic congestion and limited parking in the area. (Only you can prevent gridlock.)
