🗓️ EVENT DETAILS AND SCHEDULE

📏 COURSE DESCRIPTION

We’re Famous for our half-mile downhill start and finish on both 5k and the 10K courses! These courses were designed by runners, for runners. Both the 5K and 10K are chip-timed, point-to-point runs with an overall elevation drop to the finish line. The 5K faster than fast course will produce many memorable PRs and the 10K/5K with their exciting downhill finishes will boast many Peachtree Road Race qualifying times for 2026. We are now proven to be Metro Atlanta's fastest 5k.
