Hotlanta Half Marathon and Hotlanta 5k

Quick reminder that we have a price bump at 12m tonight, March 7th! Sign up for our virtual event and you will earn your coveted shirt and medal. Who's in?

Runners and Walkers, We hope you are all safe and well. The Hotlanta team wants to make sure you are aware of the most recent updates with the 2021 event.... Based on conversations with the City of Atlanta, we will not be issued a permit for the Hotlanta Half Marathon and 5k for this June 2021. However, we know many of you still want to participant in some way and "continue the tradition", so we will have opened up registration for a virtual event. You will still earn the same soft and comfortable shirt and we will have event-specific medals for the half marathon and 5k. All race packets will be mailed at no additional cost to you. If you selected the deferral option from 2020, please look for a follow-up email from us soon. Participants can run their event at any point between May 29th, 2021 and June 6th, 2021. Please click here to register: https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Atlanta/HotlantaHalf We appreciate your understanding and patience as we all work through these challenging times. Please do all possible to be safe and healthy. We look forward to racing with you again soon. The Tradition Continues... The Hotlanta Half and 5k Team

Hotlanta Half and 5k Virtual Race Day 6/7/2020

We'd like to give a special shout-out to our friends at the Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF). Please see below and learn more about all of the great things they do at Walking with KPeasey.

Good news! Many of you asked if we could extend our online registration for friends and family who missed out on signing up. We are able to open up a few spots for both virtual events. These spots also earn the same great race shirt and medal! ... Our team is working on "race day" items too and we think you will like it, so stay tuned. Sign up and tell your friends to also: HotlantaHalf.com

Registered Runners: If you signed up before April 13th, please check your email. (Sometimes they end up in the spam or "junk" folders). -> We need to hear from you by tomorrow please. If you emailed us, we have you covered! For anyone who wants to still register for our virtual Hotlanta Half or 5k, we still have spots available. All registered runners earn their bib, shirt and medal. We will close registration on Sunday, April 26th at 12m.... -> Register here: HotlantaHalf.com Who's in for our virtual event?

Runners, Many of you asked to see images of the medals and shirt so here you go. The Hotlanta Half medal is also a spinner! ... All registered runners: Please check your email if you have not responded to our original one from Monday, 4/13. If you have, we got you covered. We've also heard that your friends and family would like to register to run with us virtually. You can still sign up until 4/26 at HotlantaHalf.com As always, thank you for your continued support. Be well and safe.

Runners, The health and safety of athletes, volunteers, officials and event organizers is a priority for Peak Racing, the City of Atlanta and our sponsors. With the Public Health State of Emergency order being extended to mid-May and the Shelter-in-Place subject to review soon, we have made the difficult decision to run the 2020 Hotlanta Half and 5K as a Virtual Running Event. As a fellow runner, I understand exactly what this means. ... We value our runners and always make safety our number one priority. Our team hires nearly 200 City of Atlanta and Georgia Tech Police Officers and a full medical team -- both at the finish and along the course. We have over 180 volunteers as well as non-profit and charity partners on-course along with our crew. Closer to the finish, you always find our sponsors, partners and spectators there supporting you. With the State-of-Emergency extended, we cannot ensure that medical and safety personal will be available. We cannot ensure that aid stations and maintenance crews will be available. And we cannot ensure that volunteers and sponsors will be available to provide the unique expo experience you deserve. We do intend to race again in 2021 and continue the tradition. We are already making plans to reserve the 2021 date secure the proper permits as soon as the government allows. My fifteen month old son was going to see his first Hotlanta Half and 5k. My pregnant wife and I were excited that she would be able to see the race again before she delivers in July. As a fellow runner, fulltime race director and small business owner, these are unprecedented times. However, I believe strongly, that if we continue to follow the guidance of the health experts, this will be a distant memory akin to so many other noteworthy moments in history. -> All registered runners: Please review the email we just sent from Hotlanta Half and 5k for your options. Let's virtually run together so "The Tradition Continues" in 2020, and beyond. Your fellow runner and race director, Tony

Runners, We hope everyone is doing well. We want to let you know that we are still planning to race on June 7, 2020, pending any new directives from the CDC and/or other government entities. Our team will keep you posted with race updates here and via email. ... During these challenging times, it is important to keep the body moving. With that said, let us know what you are up to and post a pic if you have it! Please remember recommendations on social distancing and other group gatherings. Positive thoughts and vibes... Your friends and fellow runners, - Hotlanta Half and 5k Crew
