Hotlanta Half Marathon

Course highlights

Beginning and finishing at Pemberton Place in front of downtown Atlanta’s World of Coke, the half marathon leads runners along Centennial Olympic Park and south of the main downtown area for the first section of the course. Passing landmarks like Atlanta City Hall and the Georgia State Capitol, the course continues south toward the Turner Field area before turning around and running north along Capitol Avenue.

As Capitol Avenue turns into Piedmont Avenue, the course leads runners along John Wesley Dobbs past the Martin Luther King Center toward the Beltline’s Eastside Trail. After completing the run along the paved Eastside Trail, runners will have run over eight miles of the half marathon. A trip down 10th Street and right onto Piedmont Avenue takes half marathoners into Piedmont Park, running around the Active Oval and tennis courts before returning to the street and going south along 12th Street.

The last section of the course takes runners west toward the Georgia Tech, past Tech Square and the famed Bobby Dodd Stadium, before heading south toward the finish line at the World of Coke.
