Join Publix Atlanta Marathon & Half Marathon

We are excited to announce Atlanta Track Club has added the Publix Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon to its more than 30 events and programs! The event has become a tradition in the Southeast, and we are excited to build upon its strong heritage as a world-class event.

With just a few years under its belt as an established road race in Atlanta, the Publix Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon is already one of the biggest running events of its kind anywhere in the state. Each year’s race brings out roughly 16,000 runners from around the country to take to the streets of Atlanta, along an often hilly loop route through the city.

Atlanta Track Club is a member organization of both the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) & USA Track & Field (USATF) and adheres to the guidelines and rules of competition in the events Atlanta Track Club conducts & provides.

Course highlights

The race follows an out-and-back race through the city, starting at downtown Atlanta’s Centennial Park, which lies within walking distance of CNN’s headquarters. From there, the course takes runners through the Marietta Street corridor, several streets downtown and the historic Sweet Auburn district, where Martin Luther King Jr. lived and preached at Ebenezer Baptist Church. After the stretch through the Sweet Auburn district, the course heads through intown neighborhoods on its way to the Inman Park district, which shows off the character of the city in its historic architecture and tree-lined streets. The course through here is somewhat hilly and up-and-down, but not overly taxing. There were plenty of spectators out along this stretch of the course as well, looking up from brunch on their balconies to shout out and give the runners some encouragement. Running through Inman Park, the course next takes runners along a stretch that’s much hillier, the stretch along the Freedom Parkway near the Jimmy Carter Center. This portion of the race has one fairly big hill that lots of runners were huffing and puffing on their way up, though the generally cloudy and cool conditions helped with stretches like this one. As it leveled out at the top of the hill, Freedom Parkway then dropped down again on its way toward Atlanta’s Virginia-Highland neighborhood, where there were lots more spectators outside (even some playing live music with their own guitars and drums). Perhaps the most refreshing part of the race occurs when runners get to Piedmont Park, Atlanta’s largest urban park, partly because the half-mile or so of course on the way to the park is mostly downhill, but also because there’s tons of spectators out cheering you on when you really need it — by this point in the race, you’ve run more than nine miles already, and you’re starting to feel the fatigue and wear and tear. The last four miles of the race feature a range of hills, mostly long, steady uphills and downhills, through both the Georgia Institue of Technology campus and the streets near the Coca-Cola Company world headquarters and the Georgia Aquarium. The last stretch of the race takes runners along Marietta Street, past CNN’s Atlanta headquarters to the finish back in Centennial Park.
