ING Georgia Marathon, Half Marathon Set for Sunday

With only days until the third annual ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon, excitement has been building as the event approaches another sell-out field of 15,000.

To date more than nearly 12,000 people have signed up to take on the 26.2-mile marathon or the 13.1-mile half marathon on Sunday, March 29. Online registration is available at www.inggeorgiamarathon.com. Registration will close upon sell-out and the field will not be expanded beyond the 15,000 limit.

Beginning at Centennial Olympic Park, the race will travel through 26.2 miles (and 13.1 miles for the half marathon) of Metro Atlanta area’s most interesting and historic areas including the Sweet Auburn District, Inman Park, Midtown, Downtown and the city of Decatur.

Along the way it will pass landmarks including the King Center, and Carter Center, before returning to Centennial Olympic Park for the finish. A limit of 15,000 registrations will be accepted for the 2009 ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon.
