All courses begin and end at Michigan Avenue on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, located in front of Bally's Atlantic City. The event provides a pace team for participants in both the full and half marathon distances. Runners have access to a bag check service on the Boardwalk and a finish area courtyard for award ceremonies.
The race weekend includes an expo and packet pickup held at the Bally's Treymore Ballroom on the Friday and Saturday preceding the main events.
