Day 1,348: Atlanta Half Marathon course announced

The Atlanta Track Club today announced its half marathon course. It looks to be a pretty flat one, starting at Turner Field and passing by Centennial Olympic Park on the way to Atlantic Station and Piedmont Park.

It then comes back toward downtown, going along historic Auburn Avenue and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, turning on Boulevard and coming back past Oakland Cemetery before returning to Turner Field.

This course has the potential to be fast. I'm glad they came up with a nice downtown course that complements the route used by the Georgia Marathon/Half Marathon.
