“If you can take MARTA, certainly do so. There are a number of places where you can get off and access where you need to go.”

Race director Rich Kenah says race attendance has rebounded after a pandemic slump.

“Through COVID, we shrunk down to just under 40,000 and we’re slowly moving our way back to a 50,000 person race this year.”

If you are heading to the race or just want to cheer on the runners, here is a list of all the road closures you need to know about.
