Atlanta Running: Olympic Legacy and the Peachtree Hills
Running in Atlanta, the capital of Georgia and site of the Summer Games, is an experience that combines a rich Olympic history with a relentless topographical challenge. The city’s main distance events, including the Atlanta Marathon and Half Marathon, are famously hilly. Runners must be prepared to tackle the constant, rolling elevation changes that define the city's terrain. This is definitively not a flat speed course; it’s a route that demands respect for the ascents, rewarding only those who train strategically for the famously tough "Hotlanta" hills.
The Peachtree Challenge and Olympic Park Finish
The city’s calendar is headlined by the massive AJC Peachtree Road Race, a celebrated 10K held annually that is one of the largest road races in the world, renowned for its enthusiastic crowds and the brutal heat of a Southern July morning. Major marathon routes offer a comprehensive city tour, weaving through historic neighborhoods and past landmarks like the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. Races often finish near Centennial Olympic Park, linking the modern city to its global athletic legacy.
The commitment of the local running scene ensures that whether you are tackling the full marathon distance to conquer the climbs and earn the spectacular skyline views, or joining the massive 10K party, running in Atlanta delivers a vigorous, well-supported, and uniquely challenging Southern running adventure.
