In my big goal to run a race in every state, I picked this as my Georgia race. I have a friend who lives in Atlanta, so I had free lodging which is always nice. This race matched up with my training so I decided to give it a go.

Bib pick up was easy, it was at the local Road Runner store which was only about 15 minutes from where my friend lives. I was one of the first ones in, so it was super quick and every there was super nice.

Race morning, my friend dropped me off, and even though it was dark the start area was easy to find. Baggage check was easy and then I just hung out. Plenty of portopotties, big + . I got lined up and we took off, the race is nice, goes through some cool areas and you get to see some lovely old houses and some cool art. The roads are not totally closed, but there are TONS of cops out to keep you safe and I did my best to thank all of them. Around mile 9 you end up on a bike trail which was super cool though super busy with non race people, so that was a bit of a pain, but the art all along it was nice to look at.

The medal was cool and plenty of food and drinks at the end. I didn't stay long at the after race as my friend was waiting and we went out to breakfast. But getting my bag was smooth and easy and plenty of water.

I liked this race, could fix some things, like maybe closing off the trail to just us, but other then that, I thought it was well done and would recommend it to others
