GA 400 Pay the Last Toll Race

Sunday, November 17, 2013

Over 1,800 people braved the early morning and rainy weather to participate in the GA 400 Pay the Last Toll Race on Sunday. On November 22, GA 400 will cease to be a toll road and to celebrate, organizers held a four mile run/walk down the highway. The course started at the Glenridge Connector, heading south on 400, through the toll booths, and finishing on Lenox Rd. just after the on ramp entrance. Volunteers, sporting large white buckets, collected money from the runners as they passed the toll booths. Money collected was donated to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to help fight childhood obesity.
