TIP: If you are looking to snag an overall or age group podium spot, be sure to place yourself appropriately at the start line.

Participants will park in the Chamblee High School parking lot and cross through North DeKalb Stadium to access the race start/finish area at Chamblee Middle School. Please note that only volunteers will be permitted to park at the middle school.

What about the weather?

Can I run with my dog?

Dogs are allowed but owners must bring the necessary supplies to keep the race route and community clean. Dogs must be on a leash and under control at all times, and runners with dogs must start near the back of the crowd in order to avoid interference with competitive runners. The race director reserves the right to change this policy at any time.
