Publix Atlanta 2020 Race Expo

The Publix 2020 race weekend is here. What's amazing about this weekend is the Olympic Trials Marathon are the day before. I am volunteering for the trials and pacing the half marathon.

The excitement for both events started when I arrived at the MARTA Station and continued inside the building.

All the signage added to the excitement. I also saw many Olympic hopefuls. I am so proud of all them.

This year the expo was held at the GA World Congress Center. Typically the race expo is held at a smaller venue. With the Olympic festivities, there were more vendors and activities at the expo.

Bib and tee shirt pick up was super quick. The vendors did not disappoint. I bought an Atlanta Track Club Sweatyband! I love Sweatybands, so this was a perfect addition to my collection.

I took many pictures, got freebies, and hung out fellow BibRave Pros Jessica and Vanessa.
