Both distances start at 7:45 a.m
Over 1200 local and regional runners joined us for last year’s edition! This is a very fast course; mostly flat and with a .75 mile downhill finish! One of the fastest 5K & 10K races in Georgia and a great Peachtree Road Race seeded qualifier for both distances! 87% who ran the 10K had a negative split (2nd half faster than the 1st) by an average of 1 minute and 37 seconds. That's why we call it the Downhill Finish!
Again this year we'll have the Fastest Last Mile prize for both the 10K and 5K male and female. $50 gift cards for those that complete the last mile with fastest split time. Overall male/female, masters male/female for both 10K & 5K. Plus a 5K split for 10K runners.
