  • 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.

  • Comments: I didn't have a bag checked and it was COLD. I called my neighbor and we met up and headed out. Maybe next year I'll check a bag with some clothes in it and hang out awhile.

  • Comments: This was a good race but I hate the bag check. It was so unorganized and anyone could have walked in to the tent and grabbed my bag.
