About the Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K - Atlanta

All three distance options follow the same out-and-back path along E. Piedmont Road, starting and finishing in a shopping center parking lot at the corner of Sandy Plains and E. Piedmont. The road is the whole course, so there are no trail surprises, just pavement the whole way out and back.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at the same shopping center where the race starts, which makes the morning easier. Race-day pickup opens an hour before the start. Water stations are spaced out along the route, though runners who do not want to slow down may want to carry their own.

Common Questions About the Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K - Atlanta

Will I finish last at the Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K - Atlanta?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:07, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:45:29, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K - Atlanta a good first 5K?

A field of 528 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K - Atlanta?

The 5K winner ran 17:52 while the median finisher took 34:07. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
