The race falls on a Friday this year. Entry into the 10K event is $35 for Atlanta Track Club members and $38 for the public, plus applicable online processing fees.

The Atlanta Track Club remarked that the increase in price for the public is due to the costs associated with the enhanced safety and security measures implemented in 2013.
