On November 2, 2020, the Atlanta Track Club moved the Atlanta Marathon 40 kilometers south of Atlanta, in Henry County, Georgia on the grounds of the Atlanta Motor Speedway located in Hampton, owing concerns to Fulton County and City of Atlanta restrictions on public events during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The marathon and half marathon wereheld Sunday and utilise the oval, road course, parking lots, campgrounds, and perimeter roads of the 840 acre complex, while the 5000 metre run will be held on Saturday inside the 1.5 mile oval grounds. It was similar to the Atlanta Track Club's PNC Atlanta 10 Miler: Extreme Hill Edition originally held in Atlantic Station, which was moved to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, which also utilised a motorsport circuit and access roads. With the move to AMS, it will be the longest continuously held major event on the Atlanta Track Club schedule, as neither the Peachtree (1970) nor the Invesco QQQ Half Marathon (1963) were held in 2020.
