Race-day registration and packet pick-up started at 7:30am at the Hard Rock Cafe located Iberville & Bourbon Street. Getting my race bib was easy and most participants spent their time socializing.

If you're looking for a venue for a small event in this area, you may want to stop by and check it out. Their staff is very friendly and the food is great. We preferred these venues in Atlanta because they are all-inclusive, so you don't have to worry about chairs and catering because it's all part of the package.
