The course is a loop, starting and finishing on Hank Aaron Drive, just north of Turner Field. There is ample parking at the Stadium. Also, Turner Field is a 15-20 minute walk from the Georgia State MARTA station. MARTA costs $2.25. Breeze tickets, while supplies last, will be on sale at the Expo and MARTA stations..

Be aware that starting at 12 p.m. November 26, no vehicles will be permitted to drive on Hank Aaron Dr. between Fulton St. and R.D. Abernathy. Parking lot entrances from alternate streets east of Hank Aaron Dr. may be utilized.

The Doraville MARTA station and the Brookhaven MARTA station on the NORTHEAST rail line can provide ample parking for half-marathoners. After you've parked your car, it's a short ride to the Chamblee MARTA station, which is a five minute walk to the race start.

The most soothing way to get to the start, and home from the finish, is to take MARTA. The price is $2.25 each way. In order to make taking MARTA more convenient, we will sell MARTA Breeze tickets, while supplies last, at packet pickup at the InterContinental Hotel Buckhead, 3315 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA, (404) 946-9000.

• On race day, MARTA will be operating on a holiday schedule, and trains will be running every 20 minutes.

• If you park at the Doraville station, take the train one stop south to Chamblee.

• If you park at the Brookhaven station, take the train one stop north to Chamblee.

• If you park at Turner Field, allow 15-20 minutes for the walk to the Georgia State MARTA station and board the NORTHEAST (Doraville) bound train to the Chamblee Station. (Once on the train, allow 25 minutes travel time.)

We suggest you allow extra time over what you calculate it will take. Peachtree Industrial Blvd.at the start will be closed to traffic starting at 5:30 a.m. The race begins on time (7 a.m.), and we'd hate to think of you pulling in on Marta as the runners are loping off in the other direction.
