Carrollton Half Marathon

The Carrollton Half Marathon & Half Marathon Relay
The AMP, Carrollton, GA

Record breaking attendance with record breaking finish times for the seventh year. We are ready to break more records for 2027!

The Carrollton Half Marathon has become a local legend, one of Georgia's premier half marathons, and this race sells out every single year. We have a firm runner cap to keep the course scenic and safe—once the spots are gone, they are gone! Register early to lock in your spot, your shirt size, and the best pricing. 

Experience the magic of seeing the sun peek over Lake Carroll as you tackle our scenic 13.1-mile course. With a route that winds through the heart of the city and finishes on a glorious, flat stretch of roadway, this is a race designed for a "strong finish" with great spectators bringing you home every step of the way. 

New for 2027: Race Day pick-up for bibs has changed. If you are unable to pick-up your race packet until the morning of the event there is a nominal fee to pick-up the morning of the race. This add-on fee reserves your race swag and bib for race morning pick-up between the hours of 6 am and 6:30 am EDT at the Carrollton Amp. Race bib and packet will NOT be mailed.

Why This Isn't Just Another Race
Pre-Race Festivities: This event offers early packet pick-up options locally. The Depot on Bradley is where the Expo is hosted. Before the race expo doors open a shake-out and course preview are offered.

The Course: Start and finish in the historic Adamson Square. You’ll glide past the water and through the shaded, rolling hills of the Carrollton GreenBelt.

The Vibe: We don't just hand you a medal and send you home. There is energy from the start line and sprinkled all along the course to the finish. Our post-race atmosphere features music, entertainment, and a food & drink spread that makes those 13.1 miles feel like a warm-up for the party.

The Swag: Every runner (individual or relay) gets the "Goodie Trio": a premium Carrollton Half Marathon t-shirt, a heavy-duty finisher’s medal, and those all-important tickets for free food and drinks.

The Cause:
Every step you take benefits The Carrollton Greenbelt and The Community Foundation of West Georgia. This foundation helps fund many projects in the Carrollton and Carroll County area.

To make your race morning smoother, safer than ever, and to account for an expanded race field, we assign corral starts. Corral Starts are based on your expected finish time. No more weaving through crowds or dodging elbows in the first mile. 

How it works: When you register, you’ll provide your Expected Finish Time. We will then group you with other runners of a similar pace. Your bib will display your assigned corral (A, B, C, etc.), ensuring that everyone starts with plenty of "elbow room" and can find their rhythm immediately. Whether you’re a sub-90-minute speedster or a steady-paced scenic cruiser, you’ll have the perfect spot at the start line!
