Sunday’s full marathon has a new course for 2027
The organizer separates the two days clearly: Saturday hosts the 5K and youth activities, while Sunday hosts the full and half marathons. Use March 7 for a full-marathon countdown. The weekend’s first day should not become the race date in travel reminders or a training calculator.
The event is based in downtown Atlanta, but the page does not yet establish a final start entrance or route. The announcement specifically says the course is new. Avoid choosing a hotel or spectator crossing solely from a 2026 map, and check the final transportation plan before assuming last year’s parking or transit access will work.
The page links older race photos, results and 2026 event information alongside the new announcement. Those links are useful historical context, not confirmation of 2027 aid stations, hills, cutoffs or collection hours. Build your general marathon preparation now, then adjust terrain practice and race-day logistics when the new map is released.
The entry schedule uses capacity limits and rising price tiers, and the organizer does not guarantee entry at the expo. Confirm a place in the correct distance before treating travel as settled. The youth events have separate age and distance arrangements; families should compare their Saturday programme with the adult Sunday schedule rather than assume a single shared start. Save the current full-marathon confirmation alongside your travel details.
