Course Description
Each course was 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 NEW 5K faster than fast course will produce many memorable PRs, and 10K course with its beautiful half-mile visible downhill finish will give many runners their much sought-after Peachtree Road Race qualifying time. The 15k will also be a very scenic point to point route.
