The 5K
Everything a runner should know.
- The route
Street start, field finish
You start on Battery Avenue, across from the 3rd base entrance to Truist Park, and the route winds through the neighborhood beside the ballpark, with three water stations along the way.
The finish is the best part: you end on the field, inside Truist Park. Battery Avenue closes to traffic for the event, so your start line and the food trucks are on the same stretch.
- Official times
Certified and chip-timed
The course is certified by USA Track & Field, and that certification is what makes your time count: accurate times, official rankings, valid performances, and qualification for larger runs with performance thresholds.
Certification is granted per course, so it is confirmed again any time the route changes.
- Race kit
Your bib and swag bag
Pick up your bib at the Check-In Desk on Battery Avenue, across from the Coca-Cola Roxy.
After the race, bring your bib to the Memorabilia and Merchandise tent in the Plaza and collect your runner appreciation bag, with the T-shirt size you chose when you registered. Your bib is how our team knows the bag is yours, so keep it on.
- Timing tip
Get there early
The 5K is the first event of the morning. Registration stays open at the Check-In Desk until 9:00 AM, so arriving late does not shut you out, but you will be starting behind the field, and a chip time only means something if you start with it.
Give yourself time to park, check in, and reach the start line. We are expecting a big crowd, and exact times go out in your registration email.
- After the race
Make a day of it
Your morning is only getting started. The walk inside Truist Park steps off late morning, and the kids dash, mindful yoga, the Children's Park, two stages of live music, the food trucks, and the silent auction carry the day through the afternoon.
The 5K and the walk are separate registrations, so if you want to do both, sign up for both.
- Fundraising
Every mile raises money
Registering gives you a personal fundraising page to share with the people who would sponsor you. Everything raised supports the Aga Khan Foundation's work on the root causes of poverty.

Questions
Runners ask us.
Where does the 5K actually go?
It starts on Battery Avenue, across from the 3rd base entrance to Truist Park, and winds through the neighborhood next to the ballpark, with three water stations along the way. The finish is the best part: you end on the field, inside Truist Park. The course is USATF-certified, which allows accurate times, official rankings, and qualification for larger runs with performance thresholds.
What time should I get there?
Early. Check-in is on Battery Avenue, across from the Coca-Cola Roxy, and opens well before the first event. Get in line as soon as check-in opens, because the 5K goes off first and you can't join once it has started. Expect big crowds and allow time to park, check in, and reach the start. Exact times are confirmed closer to the day in your registration email.
Can I register on the day of the event?
Yes, there's on-site registration at the Check-In Desk until 9:00 AM. We strongly encourage registering ahead of time: it's faster on the day and guarantees your spot in the timed events, which have limited capacity.
Where do I park, and what does it cost?
Park in the Red, Green, Yellow, or Purple decks at The Battery Atlanta. If you're navigating, the Red Deck is at 2565 Circle 75 Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30339. The Orange and Silver/Delta decks are not available for this event. The first two hours are free; after that The Battery charges by the hour, with rates set closer to the event, so check batteryatl.com before you come. Limited metered street parking is enforced, and each deck has a few EV chargers with contactless payment.
