This is a great tour of all of downtown’s landmarks. Starting at one of the main hotels downtown just east of I-85, this run includes a tour of Centennial Olympic Park, The World of Coca-Cola, CNN, The Georgia Dome, Aquarium, the College Football Hall of Fame, Philips Arena, the Castleberry Hill historic neighborhood, and Georgia Tech. Look for fun sites, galleries, shops, and restaurants on Baker St., Luckie St., and Peters St. Octane Coffee and EBrik Coffee are popular with runners. For guided running tours in Atlanta, we recommend our friends at Go! Running Tours.
