From some of the hilltops, the Chattahoochee seems to stretch for miles without any sign of civilization. This is quite remarkable as the park is in the center of some of the most upscale suburban development in the country.
Because the park is relatively small and bordered by the river or residential streets on all sides, this is a good event for someone considering moving up a class. Controls are generally closer together amaking navigation easier on the longer courses.
Please come early as parking is limited. Buses should especially come early so they have room to turn around.
From Atlanta, take GA 400 North to Exit 6 (Northridge Rd). West to Roswell Rd and turn North (right). Cross river, first left onto Azalea Rd. Turn left on Willeo Rd. then bear left to Lower Roswell Rd. Park is approx. 0.5 mile on left. Follow signs.
GAOC offers beginner instruction at 10am at all local meets. Runners then may start their course any time between 11am and 1pm with a 3-hour time limit for all courses. All runners must be off the course by 3pm sharp.
