It is still my favorite race of the year! I've done it every year since the start. The course changed this year but only in location. The difficulty was right there for those who love the challenge.

T-shirt/Medal: The shirt is a great design. The medal is great as usual. It had a spinner in the middle. Each year it is a cool representation of Atlanta and the 10-mile feat.

Aid Stations: The water and Powerade stations are well spaced and staff with great volunteers.

Course scenery: While the cityscape is the most scenic, the cheer station makes up for it. The cheer stations are great. They offer high fives and encouragement along the way. The different themes are nice to distract from the climbs.

Elevation Difficulty: Up hills and down hills. Very technical this year. You will get to experience the true Atlanta hill race!

Parking: Remember where you park because the Atlantic Station parking deck can be confusing after a hard race. It has portal numbers to help. It was free until noon as long as you didn't leave before 9 am.

Race Management: Atlanta Track Club puts on a great race. The staff was around and the course volunteers are the best!!!
