This is one of the best races I have participated in. Before I start let me say that this course is very hilly. That being said, I loved this race. The expo is small but any time you get a chance for one on one time with Jeff Galloway it's a great thing. While the parking is extremely limited it was clearly communicated in race communications that the best way to and from the race is the MARTA train. The hotels in the area make it nice to walk to the start and from the finish line.
The race itself was great. There was a lot of course support and the volunteers were amazing. It is a scenic course and since this was my first visit to Atlanta I can't compare it to other races in the area when it comes to scenery. The finish was amazing. Jeff was there to give medals to those that wanted the given directly from him. Instead of mylar blankets they gave jackets similar to what you see doctors wearing. It kept us very warm on a brisk morning. There was also a bag and plenty of food and treats at the finish. I am running a half marathon in all 50 states and I am glad I chose this one for my Georgia race. I will be back to run it again. It's also nice that the race is VERY affordable.
