Registration closes Wednesday for the Hawks Fast Break 5K, on Saturday — which means there are still two days left to sign up and receive a ticket to the last Atlanta Hawks home game of the season, held that same night.

The race, one of three road 5Ks put on by the Atlanta Track Club between now and the AJC Peachtree Road Race, starts at 8 a.m. that Saturday. The race starts at Phillips Arena and continues around downtown, down Marietta Street toward Pryor Street toward Trinity Avenue, before curving around to McDaniel STreet and then back around to Philips.

The cost is $45 and the event is open to anyone age 8 or older.

Parking is available at the Centennial Parking Deck or the Philips Lot, with free parking for pre-registered participants.

If the event has not at capacity, race day registration will be held from 6:30-7:30 a.m.
