2022 Winter ATL Directions

RunTheATL-Winter-2022

Startline – Make a right on the Westside Beltline Trail

Stay on the unpaved section and DON’T go up the concrete ramp.

Eventually, it starts to be paved again as you approach Rat Tunnel.
You will now stay on this new section of paved West Side Beltline until it deads ends into Washington Park.

When you hit Washington Park, concrete dead ends into a bench. Run right past the bench towards the tennis courts.

Pass the tennis courts and now run straight into the woods way. (Not to the left down the hill)

On this for a short bit. Til it ends at a house. Then go left to get out of the woods and then right onto Stafford Street. Then a quick right onto Mobile.

Take Mobile Street over the Marta Line and then an immediate LEFT onto Mayson Turner Ave

Turn right onto Joseph E. Boone Blvd NW/Simpson Rd NW 

Turn immediate left onto Archer Way NW  into the apartment buildings. At the back of the apartment complex go around the buildings, follow the flags onto “The Goat Path” that takes you behind the city.

Stay on the Goat Path until you get to bridge at Donald Lee Hollowell (someone may be living there, but he’s harmless). Go left up onto Donald Lee Hollowell and head towards the Marta Station.

Cross the street and go right onto Gary Ave. Go left onto Proctor Creek Greenway

Proctor Creek Greenway takes you towards WestSide Park. It’s a fun little job on a paved way. You’ll go over a hill and about a half-mile and then down towards Westside Park. Do not turn right towards Westside Park as we have in the past. Cross over the “main road” and stay on Proctor Creek Greenway (Should be flags marked #1 to show you the way)

It will wind around and take you to Johnson Road. Take a right on Johnson Road and you should see an aid station at Boyd Elementary School.

Continue going up Johnson Road and then take a right back into WestSide Park at the giant Dino Bones.

At this point, you will need to pay closer attention to the flags, as they will be numbered as you will loop around the Park. If you see a number much higher than the last one, you messed up. You will follow the flags and eventually get a view of The Quarry before turning around. Keep following the numbered flags.

Once you hit flags 15 or 16, you are headed back out of the park onto West Marietta Street. The flags are back to not being numbered from this point forward.

Go right on West Marietta Street. Turn Right on Rice street at Chevron Station.

Rice will eventually dump you onto Marietta Blvd. Cross the road and there is a new sidewalk to run on. Follow the flags and it will take you over to the new Westside BeltLine Connector. You will stay on this all the way past the Trap Museum all the way to Northside Drive (BP on the left)

Cross over Northside onto Ivan Allen (the Georgia World Congress Center is on your right)

Over the bridge, then right on Luckie Street (Bike Path) behind the Aquarium. Cross Baker. Luckie becomes Park Ave. Continue on Park Ave. Follow Park Ave until Marietta Street /College Football Hall of Fame. Take left onto Marietta Street.

Right on Centennial Park Drive. Go past CNN on your right. Then Right on MLK ( In front of Reverb)

Cross Northside Drive. Stay on the same road which will curve some but you still want MLK.

Stay on MLK all the way to Joseph Lowery and go Left.

You may see some flags at James Brawley but please ignore those (long story).

Take Joseph Lowery to Ralph David Abernathy and go right (At The CVS).

Then Right on Murphy. Go past the Big Blue Smoke Stack.

Then Left on Brookline at Bearings Bike Shop.

Then right on Allene.

Then turn right back onto The Beltline and you are less than 1 mile from The Brewery.

Touch the magic table and you are done!
