My email to them:
My wife and I signed up for the race in Atlanta for today. We purchased the parking plan. We live 50 miles away so we took the time to come to the Expo, which was costly and time consuming. This morning, we allowed plenty time to arrive so that we could use our parking pass. We approached the Fulton Street exit at around 6:20 after sitting in traffic for 30 minutes. When we got to the top of the exit, police diverted traffic to the left, away from the Blue Lot. All the while, we are sitting in heavy traffic. We are watching our friends posting pictures of empty spaces in the Blue Lot to our dismay. The police continued to divert traffic all the way around Turner Field, which took about an hour and a half. We eventually arrived to a lot in which they were charging for parking. I had no cash and was not going to pay when I had already paid. This was about 7:30 and we turned around, no where to park and missed the race.

I am so frustrated about the way police diverted us away from our parking lot and we need to be reimbursed for everything. We will gladly send back the coats since we cannot wear them anyway because we were turned away from the venue and could not race. Our bib numbers are 8465 and 53359.

I am not a novice runner. I have run about 100 races in 30 states and am involved on social media with various running groups. I hope that you do the right thing. I am so frustrated that we could not run and wasted so many hours and money.
