Running the 2013 Atlanta Half Marathon? Register Now, Prices Increase Next Week

The 13.1 mile course gives participants a taste of Atlanta, running past sites such as Centennial Olympic Park, Atlantic Station, Piedmont Park, Oakland Cemetery and of course the Olympic Rings.

"Earn Your Turkey," is the motto of many runners who take part in the annual Atlanta Half Marathon in November.  The Atlanta Half Marathon (ages 14 and up), organized by the Atlanta Track Club (ATC), is among the largest half marathons in the US, and this year's Thanksgiving run will not disappoint. 

Since finding its home on Thanksgiving Day, the Atlanta Half Marathon has become a Thanksgiving tradition for thousands of people throughout the metro Atlanta area and beyond. 

The marathon will be winding through both the Midtown and Downtown corridors on Thanksgiving Day, and the Atlanta Track Club would like to help our readers beat the price increase to register for all the activities including the Atlanta Half Marathon, Thanksgiving Day 5K, Mashed Potato Mile and Gravy Gallop.
