About the Bound for Boston Marathon & Half Marathon - Atlanta
The course is a single short loop, repeated until you reach your distance. Both race options carry USATF certification, and the full distance counts as a Boston qualifier. Running the same loop many times could wear on you, and the organizers know it: there is music and entertainment along the route to break things up. Pay attention to the tangents, because every extra step adds up.
Packet pickup is available race morning, starting an hour before the gun. An earlier pickup option sometimes gets added closer to the event, so check back if you prefer to have your bib the evening before.
