Transportation

Transportation to Exchange Zone Areas

Buses will be available at Atlantic Station the morning of the event to transport relay team members to their respective exchange areas.  Because of road closures and the fact that no parking will be available in the relay exchange areas, it is highly recommended that all leg two (B), three (C) and four (X) runners use the transportation provided to get to their exchange areas on race morning.

On race morning, bus load-in will take place on 19th Street at Atlantic Station (in front of Regal Cinemas 16).  To access 19th Street from the Atlantic Station parking garage, use Portal 1, 2, 3 or 4.  Buses will leave promptly at their indicated departure times, and it is recommended that runners arrive at Atlantic Station at least one hour prior to their bus departure time in order to have plenty of time to park, check their gear and use the restroom if needed. 

The bus schedule is based on the arrival time of the fastest runners to each relay exchange area. The C and X runners waiting in relay exchange areas two and three will have shelter to wait in while they wait for their team member to get close to the exchange zone.

Below is the bus load-in and departure schedule:

  Distance Start Location End Location Bus Load Bus Depart
Leg 1/A 5.5 Atlantic Station Trinity & Forsyth  N/A  N/A
Leg 2/B 8.4 Trinity & Forsyth  N Highland & E. Freedom Parkway  6:00  6:20
Leg 3/C 5.1 N Highland & E. Freedom Parkway  Briarcliff & Johnson Rd.  6:30  7:00
Leg 4/X 7.2 Briarcliff and Johnson Rd.  Atlantic Station  7:00  7:30


The buses will also transport runners who have finished their leg of the relay back to the finish area at Atlantic Station.  As the buses fill they will depart the exchange areas for the finish.  The bus drop-off area will be located on 19th Street in front of Regal Cinemas 16.
