Can I run or walk with a stroller?
Our nar­row streets and large crowd make this race a tight fit with just the peo­ple. We ask that par­ties with strollers start near the back of the line to allow run­ners to make their best time.

Can I run with my dog?
No, please do not run with your dog on the course. Please leave your pets at home.

Can I run with my iPod?
For safety rea­sons, we dis­cour­age the use of head­phones on the course.

Are walk­ers allowed?
YES! Walk­ers are very wel­comed to our event. We ask is that you obey the rules of the course and walk no more than two peo­ple abreast so that oth­ers may pass eas­ily. Walk­ers will start at the same time as run­ners but are advised, for safety rea­sons, to start their race at the back of the pack. Walker times are recorded using the same MyLaps Bib Tim­ing Sys­tem as runners.

How is the race timed?
Your MyLaps Bib must be affixed to your shirt. Your time will start when you cross the start line.
A back-up place card sys­tem will be located at the fin­ish. Please record your time at the fin­ish if this is impor­tant to you.

What dis­tance is this race?
The ACP/MidSummer Fes­ti­val 5K is um…5 kilo­me­ters (~3.1 miles). 

Am I guar­an­teed to get my shirt in a cer­tain size?
When you check the box next to a t-shirt size on your reg­is­tra­tion form, you are not reserv­ing a shirt; you are help­ing us plan how many shirts we need to order in each size. Sizes will be dis­trib­uted among pre-registered par­tic­i­pants first, then on a first come, first-served basis

Can I get a refund if I reg­is­ter but don’t run?
No. We plan the race based on the num­ber of reg­is­tered run­ners, so once you have reg­is­tered we can­not offer you a refund.

What about park­ing and trans­porta­tion?
Park­ing is very lim­ited. We highly rec­om­mend arriv­ing by MARTA rail. The Edge­wood / Can­dler Park Sta­tion is less than 1/3 mile from Epworth UMC. For infor­ma­tion on http://www.itsmarta.com/ew-edg-overview.aspx

 By Marta:

Can­dler Park as its own sta­tion (Can­dler Park/Edgewood Sta­tion) on DeKalb Avenue. Walk north (to the right!) up Oak­dale Road. Turn left to get to Lit­tle Five Points (L5P) or go right to hit the Fly­ing Bis­cuit or the Park.

If you’re com­ing from North Atlanta by car:
No-brainer method: Come down I-85 and get off at the North Avenue exit. Turn left & go past the Var­sity, Nations­Bank, the Fox The­ater, Rio, a bunch o’ fast food places, the Mas­quer­ade, go past Manuel’s Tav­ern at North High­land (on your right), go through one more light at More­land Avenue & you’re there! Free­dom Park is on your right (check out the roller bladers). Go through two stop signs & turn right (it’s a dead end so you really have no choice). On your left is the World Famous Can­dler Park Master’s Links Coun­try Club (a.k.a. our own lit­tle 9 hole pub­lic course). On your right is the Mary Lin Ele­men­tary School. Up a lit­tle fur­ther and you can see Can­dler Park itself on the left. Go to the stop sign. Turn left to hit the Fly­ing Bis­cuit for Brunch (or maybe Fellini’s or LaFonda’s). Turn right to head back to Lit­tle Five Points.

Quicker, but more con­fus­ing: Come down I-85 and get off at the Carter Cen­ter exit. Go through the light and bear right on Ga. 42 at the split just under the bizarre “open tun­nel” (you’ll under­stand when you see it). The Carter Cen­ter will be on your left. Bear right at the next fork (stay­ing on 42). Go through the light (Free­dom Park & the neigh­bor­hood are now directly in front of you). Turn right onto More­land Avenue at the next stop­light. You are now in L5P. You can take any left along here and you’ll be in Can­dler Park! Go past the Skull (you’ll know what I mean), and through the next stop light. The Brew­house will be on your left and Zesto’s (home of the happy servers) will be across the street on your left. Turn left onto McLen­don Avenue at the stop­light. You’re now in Can­dler Park.

If you’re com­ing from South, East, or West Atlanta by car:
Take I-20 to the More­land Avenue exit & go north. Note that if you’re com­ing from the east, there is only one More­land Avenue exit. If you’re com­ing from the west, there are two .… you want the sec­ond one. After you get off, go through five stop lights (you’ll see Atlanta Gas Light on your right at this point and a U-Haul & Apart­ments lofts that used to be a Bak­ery). Keep going through the tun­nel under the rail­road tracks to the next stop­light. You’re now in L5P. Turn right onto McLen­don Avenue and you’re in Can­dler Park. Turn left to grab a brew at the Euclid Avenue Yacht Club.

If you’re com­ing from North­east Atlanta by car:
Since we’re in the North­east part of Atlanta, you prob­a­bly already know how to get here, but here goes …..
Take Lawrenceville Hwy south and it will turn into Ponce de Leon. Turn off your brain until after you go under the bridge for the rail­road tracks (watch out for the idiot on the left, that road is nar­row!). Keep going until you see either Clifton or Moreland/Briarcliff. Turn left onto Clifton to hit the Bis­cuit or get a quick body pierc­ing. Turn left on More­land to hit L5P & the west­ern reaches of Can­dler Park
