The Course & Parking
THE COURSE: The 8th annual Army HOOAH Race is comprised of a 5K, 5K Nordic Pole Walk/Race and 10K Race on a point-to-point USATF certified course (flat and fast - perfect as a tune-up race for this year's Peachtree Road Race or to establish a qualifying time for the 2010 Peachtree Road Race). The 10K begins in College Park, at the Georgia International Convention Center on Highway 29. The 5K and 5K Nordic Pole Walk/Race begins in downtown East Point, at the East Point Library, near the East Point MARTA. Both races finish, at Hedekin Field, in Fort McPherson. A 50 & 100 yard Tot Trot Dash will take place prior to the awards ceremony and is free to children 10 & under (no free shirts, ribbons to all finishers).
PARKING: Parking for the 10K race is available at the Georgia International Convention Center, while parking for the 5K/5K NPW is available in downtown East Point by the library. There is limited parking on Fort McPherson (for DOD registered vehicles only) so runners are encouraged to either take the MARTA to the start points or park at the areas designated above. Buses will be available to transport runners from the College Park MARTA Station to the 10K start point at the Georgia International Convention Center. The start for the 5K race is only 1/10 mile from East Point MARTA station so runners can walk to the start. Shuttle buses are available to transport runners back to each starting point after the race.
