The USATF Half Marathon Championships was held in Atlanta during the Publix Atlanta Marathon weekend (which totally brought dejavu from the Trials in 2020). This race would be a selection race for Team USA for the World Half Marathon Championships later this year. And if competing in a World Championships race on US soil (San Diego) wasn’t enough of an incentive, Atlanta Track Club was throwing down real prize money for the winners of this race. Some of America’s best distance racers, from the 10k to the marathon, lined up for this one. Atlanta Track Club did a magnificent job organizing this event for the elites, and I hope that Atlanta will be able to host even more USATF Championships in the future. Special thanks to my Atlanta video team, Mike Uko and Bryan Liang, for getting on course footage. Thank you to Atlanta Track Club for giving me media credentials and trusting me to help tell this story. 0:00 warm up 1:03 mens start 1:34 women's start 2:02 mile 1 3:08 mile 3 3:46 mile 6 4:50 mile 9 5:28 mile 12 6:09 mens finish 7:17 women's finish To watch the entire race, check out Atlanta Track Club's YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/live/4EiseNtKw_M?si=8UVm5UfdP6Q7SZ8I Disclosures: no one paid me to go to Atlanta.
