Parking & Race Day Tips!
 
Start thinking about your transportation plan now!  Due to the construction around the new Mercedes Benz Arena and development of new properties in the Castleberry Hill area, race day parking will be EXTREMELY  limited!
 
We need as many participants as possible to carpool, take MARTA, and/or LYFT over to the race!!
 
Address to Start Finish Area: 110 Walker Street SW, ATL 30313
 
TAKE A LYFT OR UBER!!!!  

MARTA IS SMARTA - Mercedes Benz/GWCC/State Farm Arena/CNN Center & Garnett Train Stations are both within .5 miles of the Start/Finish location of The ATL Race. Exit train and GPS walking directions to 110 Walker Street SW, ATL 30313
 
EXTREMELY LIMITED PARKING OPTIONS - 
-Neighborhood Parking in Castleberry Hill: Walker Street, Peters Street, Fair Street, Nelson Street, Chapel (Please abide by parking signs, and do not block resident driveways. 
-Paid Lot at Corner of Fair & Peters (.4 miles) until 10am
-Lot at the corner of Nelson & Tatnall until 10am (.2 Miles)
-Paid Lot at corner of Elliott & Mitchell (.1 Miles)
(Volunteers will be present at these lots until 6:50am, other lots have NOT been approved for The ATL participants therefore you are parking at your own risk.)
 
Again, if you make the decision to drive by yourself to the race and park, you will have very limited options close by the race.  We highly advise to plan ahead and utilize a method that will make your race morning stress free (CARPOOL, LYFT, & MARTA)
