World Athletics Label
All Atlanta Track Club elite races are World Athletics Label events. The World Athletics Label is available to all officially sanctioned road races that have taken place for at least two consecutive years prior to 2022 with an international measurement certificate in place.
Through choosing to have a World Athletics Label, race organizers also show a tangible commitment to clean sport by funding a dedicated road racing out-of-competition testing program, managed by the Athletics Integrity Unit.
