Come Run Along the Westside of the Atlanta BeltLine!
Now in its 6th year, the 2016 Atlanta BeltLine Run.Walk.Go! Race Series is the perfect chance to explore various trail segments and stay active. Check out the latest developments along the Atlanta BeltLine, snag an awesome t-shirt, and burn a few calories - runners, walkers, strollers, and dogs are welcome!
This event takes participants through the oldest neighborhood in Atlanta – West End. It also travels on the original segment of the Atlanta BeltLine – the West End Trail, before continuing through Westview.
Play Day
Following the race, everyone is invited to stay for our second Play Day of 2016. Play Days are free, fun-filled days of sports, fitness and education where local trainers and coaches come together to facilitate activities, drills and games for a variety of sports. Play Days are presented through the Atlanta BeltLine's partnership with Atlanta ContactPoint, a nonprofit established to engage children and adults through the power of play. Play Day will start immediately after the road race and will last until 2 PM.
