This race, sponsored by the Atlanta Track Club, used to be called the Rise Up and Run 5K and finishes on the 50 yard line of the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It used to finish in the Georgia Dome, so I'm glad I've been able to run the race in both sports venues!
I ran the race with Leah from Decatur Moms Run This Town and she was great at keeping me going when I was wanting to walk it out. She kept me at a good pace and we finished with a little kick left.
Sarah and her husband Brent were at the race, too.
Early to rise up and run!
I got there really early, and the lights were on the stadium. Got a great photo!

Finishers!
Finished on the 50!
What a fun morning. We got a nice finisher's medal, too. That's always fun. I'll be ready to rise up and run this one again next year.
