Bound for Boston Marathon & Half Marathon - Atlanta

Bound for Boston Marathon and Half Marathon in the Johns Creek / Suwanee / Cumming area is a loop course event held on 9/6/26. The event offers a full marathon, a half marathon, and a virtual option. Both the full and half are USATF certified and the full marathon is designated as a Boston qualifier.

The course is a one mile flat loop that repeats for required laps, with an additional 0.1 or 0.2 mile segment to the finish. Chip timing is used for start and finish, with chip timed splits displayed every mile on timing clocks. Organizers provide music and other entertainment along the loop to reduce repetition for participants. The course has a four hour race time limit.

Registration is limited by an event cap of 175 participants. The half marathon registration opens on April 1. Fees vary by registration period and all participants registered by August 27 are guaranteed race swag in their size; after that swag is available while supplies last. A virtual race option allows participants to run or walk at a location of their choice, submit results online, and remain eligible for awards.

Notes for participants include running tangents to minimize distance and keeping to the right when slower to allow faster participants to pass on the shortest route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
