After more than 5 hours of running, jogging and walking, the 55th Atlanta Journal-Constitution Road Race is officially over.

The race was stopped shortly after 10:40 a.m. after a black flag was issued due to extreme heat, but runners were still allowed to finish. The last 1,000 or so runners did not have their official results recorded due to the black flag.
