This was my first year doing this 5k, and won't be my last. I signed up early so for a VERY reasonable price got the race, a medal, a rose, and the finishers goodie bag! Bib pickup at West Stride made race morning very easy. I'm not sure how they divided us up into corrals as we didn't submit paces and it didn't seem to be done by age groups either. I'm not super speedy, but it was hard weaving around smaller girls who were seeded in front of me. I couldn't see them until I was up on them in the early downhill and came close to running over one as I dodged around another.
Honestly that's my only complaint though. The t-shirt is nice and soft (even if women's cut shirts aren't my thing, they never fit my shoulders right) this one isn't too bad. The medal is awesome, very pretty, and actually one of the reasons I signed up - I missed last year and the medal was gorgeous.
The course itself is very hilly, but, its Atlanta. Only one aid station but its a 5k so more isn't needed. A proper finishers chute and FREE RACE PICTURES capped off an already awesome morning. Results were posted by the time we had walked back to the car.
I would have paid a few bucks more to run just for the free race pics, and mine came out fantastic!
We were running a little late race morning, so our parking situation was probably influenced by that, but we had to park close to 2/3 of a mile away in a neighborhood. Though the jaunt over probably served as a good warm up for our legs.
Overall I'm looking forward to doing this race again next year!
