On the last weekend of this month, Atlanta is going to host the Olympic Marathon Trials. That same weekend the city will also see the Publix Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K. Both events will take place in and around Centennial Olympic Park. We all know what that means: Gear up for road closures.

The trials, held on Feb. 29 at noon, will see hundreds of men and women vying to represent the U.S. in the Olympic marathon competition in Tokyo (the top three men and the top three women will be Olympics bound). The whole event is being put on by the Atlanta Track Club, with the 26.2-mile course winding through Atlanta neighborhoods and including a 2.2-mile final loop that runs under the Rings and Torch structure from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

The Olympic torch will also be relit for the duration of the race.

The Publix races take place on Mar. 1 at 7 a.m., with a starting line in Centennial Olympic Park.

There are plenty of places to watch, and a few other events for fans for what the Track Club is calling “America’s Marathon Weekend.” Get info on road closures and more below.

Places To Watch

The Track Club said they’ve designed the course for the trials for “maximum crowd support.” That means it’s loaded with places to watch and cheer. There are even bars and restaurants along the course offering marathon specials on the day of the trials. Check out the map below for more information.
