Getting to Packet Pick-Up

If you are staying in one of our downtown race hotels, you are there already; packet pick-up is a short walk away.

If you will be parking in downtown Athens on Friday, try the Courthouse Parking Deck, the College Avenue Parking Deck, or metered street parking. The North Campus Parking Deck on the University of Georgia campus also allows paid visitor parking on weekdays and paid or free parking on weekends.

What is a “Packet”?

Welcome, first-time racers! Your race “packet” means the number you must pin to your shirt on race day (also known as your “race bib”), your commemorative race shirt to wear later, and the special team belt your team will share if you are running the relay. (It’s still called a “packet” because runners used to receive a whole packet of paper ads and other materials, but most races have gone green. You’ll get a “virtual packet” of great offers from our sponsors, instead of a bagful of paper ads.)
