Organized by the Atlanta Track Club, the event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to participate in the 5K, 1-mile or 50-yard dash.
Each 5K pass includes a T-shirt and ticket to a Braves home game. Runners can choose one of three games (June 11, 12 or 25), and those who pick the June 11 one are encouraged to wear their race tee and walk in the pregame parade.
While the 5K and 1-mile will finish at The Ted, the 50-yard dash will take place inside Monument Grove.
Online registration has closed. However, those interested can still sign up by 7 a.m. on race day (though T-shirts are almost gone).
The Braves Country starts at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, June 11, at Turner Field, 755 Hank Aaron Drive NE, in Atlanta. Click here for more information.
