  • Comments: This was the best running of this event yet. Hats off to Publix for stepping in. If this is any indication, this will continue to be a better race in the future. And by far the best weather ever in the history of this event.

  • Comments: I only rate this race as average because it just can't buy a good weather day. The day before was unbelievable but on race morning, there was ING looking at cold and wet again. But, I continue to run it like I continued to take Calculus in college. It sucked but I needed it to graduate. Whatever that means...

  • Comments: Still some issues they need to work out for this race. Bag check was chaos and directions/signs pointing to the corrals. Otherwise this is a good race, one that I will continue to do each year.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Frankly, I do this race because its local and I have many friends and training pals that do it. But, I wouldn't travel to this one. I like the challenge of this course. It's hard. I refuse to rate it 'too hard'. Also, its Year #3 and there still seem to be organizational issues. Boarding into the corrals was tough and it would've been nice if the CNN Center was open to the public. They sure had those doors open for the Hawks game later that afternoon. The cool thing is that when I entered the garage I grabbed a ticket but no one was parking in there. When I returned to go home the garage was filling up with NBA fans. I cruised out because they were not manning the ticket booth! The wand was up and they were waving me through! It made up for that B.S. about $10 parking at that crappy expo. Which, btw, was another well organized event. I didn't know that the other 427 doors in the Georgia Dome don't work when it's raining. Just that one door as far away from your car as is physically

  • Comments: A good race. I liked the course better the first year. Weather in GA in the spring is a little hit/miss but that is not the RD's fault. Year 1 was perfect. Year 2 was rainy and cold. Year 3 was better than year 2 but still a bit chilly.
