As the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics approach in July, the Atlanta Track Club is gearing up and getting set to host the U.S. Olympic marathon team trials.

Atlanta’s streets will be turned into an expansive course for more than 700 qualifying runners to embark on February 29. Only six of them will make the team for the upcoming Olympics.

Spectators can watch the action in person along the trail or live on NBC from noon to 3 p.m.
