Love the thrill of the race and the crowds on the sidelines? Or maybe your family’s looking for a fun way to be healthy together? Join us for our 1 Mile Run, 5K or 10K!
Whether you’re in it for a new PR, or you just enjoy a brisk walk with all of your friends, this 5K/10K is the perfect event for you. Join us on February 7, 2026 for a mid-winter run, rain or shine. Our race is a gun shot start race with a chip-timed finish line. Results will be streaming live as finishers cross the line. All finishers will receive a finisher’s medal.
Electronic timing and race results will be provided by a timer using chip readers and race bibs. We will use a “Gun Shot” race start. Results will be available on race day. Finish line photos will be posted after the race. 5K & 10K race times are official qualifiers for the Peachtree Road Race for all who run in person. Virtual runs do not count as qualifier times.
