5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT GIFT!!, December 6, 2004

By	K. Predhomme (Knoxville,TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this book! I travel to Atlanta for work and was running along the side of the road out and back from hotels until I got this book. It has excellent directions for getting to the courses, has an overall map so you can pick a course based on location, and also gives alternatives for different distances and rates the course as far as hills/difficulty. It even has a trail section. I have done about 12 of the different courses and it keeps me motivated to get out and do my run and keeps it fun. I wish every city had a book like this!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good guide, but mileages and descriptions are wrong, April 18, 2005

By	Ingrid Anderson (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good guide if you don't know anything about Atlanta. I picked one run out of there to do my first 8-miler about a year ago. It was the long loop around stone mountain. The book listed it as "flat," and it is anything BUT! There are hills around the whole thing! Also, the loop is supposed to be 8 miles, but it is actually about 7.2. All in all, it's a pretty good book, but some information can be deceiving.

3.0 out of 5 stars Generally a good guide, but . . ., March 12, 2006

By	J. Caldwell (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wonder if Mike has ever actually been to Stone Mountain. The roads and sidewalks are anything but "predominately flat" or "lightly traveled" on weekends. The terrain is nothing like the Silver Comet Trail. Overall, the routes are good and well described, but some of the information is incorrect, and there are a few areas where I would not run. There are safer places to be in the Atlanta area than downtown, Grant Park, and Westview Cemetery, especially if you are female and alone.
