The Walk
A ballpark, all yours.
- The route
Walk inside the ballpark
You start at the First Base Gate and walk up the ramp to the upper concourse, follow it round to the third base side, then come back down through the stands to field level. Restrooms and water are on the upper concourse along the way.
The last stretch is on the warning track itself: a lap of the field, past Chipper's Corner, finishing out of the Left Field Gate into the CHOA Children's Park. See the route drawn out.
- No clock
Untimed, on purpose
Nobody is racing, there is no clock, and there is no pace to keep up with. Come as you are, and bring whoever you want with you.
- Timing
Two waves, late morning
The walk steps off in two waves once the 5K has finished: Wave A at 11:00 AM and Wave B at 11:45 AM, the same route either way. You are given your wave when you check in.
We are expecting a big crowd, and if you miss your wave you may not make it into the ballpark. Give yourself time to park, collect your credentials at the Check-In Desk, and get to the First Base Gate.
- Registration
Free, and everyone registers
The walk is the free part of the day, and everyone joining us needs a registration, children included.
Registering and checking in is how we take care of our guests. It tells us how many of you to expect along the route, at the water stations, and at the food trucks.
- Accessibility
Bring the whole family
A step-free route skips the ramps and stairs: Braves Guest Services take you to field level by elevator and onto the warning track through the left field tunnel. It works for wheelchairs and strollers.
Senior drop-off is at the Red Deck, with volunteers helping where they can and a limited number of wheelchairs to check out. The Seniors Circle sits in the middle of the action, close to the restrooms and the water and snack station.
- For the kids
Dash, derby, and more
The 100-Yard Kids Dash runs on Battery Avenue in three age groups, and the CHOA Children's Park brings a home run derby, batting cages, a rock-climbing tower, and lawn games for under-14s.
Both are separate free registrations, and a parent or guardian supervises in the park.
Questions
Walkers ask us.
Do we really walk inside the stadium?
Yes, and you get further in than you might expect. First Base Gate in, up to the upper concourse, down through the stands to field level, a lap of the warning track past Chipper's Corner, then out the Left Field Gate into the CHOA Children's Park. The walk is the free part of the day, open to every age and pace.
Do I have to register if I'm only walking?
Yes. The walk is free, but everyone attending needs a registration, including children. Registering and checking in tells us how many people to expect for the route, the water, and the food. Thank you for supporting the event and the cause.
Is it accessible, and is there somewhere for older family members?
Yes. A step-free route skips the ramps and stairs: Braves Guest Services meet you at the third base premium elevator lobby, bring you to field level, onto the warning track through the left field tunnel, and back up by the left field elevator after your lap. It works for wheelchairs and strollers. Senior drop-off is at the Red Deck, with volunteers helping where they can and a limited number of wheelchairs to check out, first come, first served. There's a Seniors Circle near the restrooms and the water and snack station, in the middle of the action rather than off to the side.
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.
