The course map has not been revealed yet, but marathons organized by ATC tend to be quite hilly. To prepare effectively, perhaps include hill workouts in your training routine. I recommend incorporating some hilly long runs and starting out conservatively during the race. Once the course map is available, you can visit findmymarathon.com/ to enter your race goals, and the app will suggest a pacing strategy. Additionally, there should be pacers available during the race. Best of luck!
I did the half…..the hills….my god those hills….
Yes, those hills are very challenging. It seems we can't escape them in Atlanta. Good luck in your next race!
Hi! I’m running the ATL marathon this year. Do you have any advice about the course? Trying to plan a race strategy with all of the hills!
