NEW 13.1 COURSE for 2026 - Due to Riverside Park being under construction for renovations until July of 2027. For 2026 the race will start and finish from Chattahoochee Nature Center. Unfortunately due to size constraints in 2026 there will only be a half marathon and that will be limited to 1500 half marathon runners. The 10k and 5K along with the 13.1 will return at full capacity in 2027 when we go back to the newly renovated Riverside Park.

The course is a fast, flat, and fun two-loop course along the river and boardwalks, featuring only 240 feet of elevation gain! Headlamps or running lights are a must have and HIGHLY suggested to all runners, as there are some dark spots along the course. The race starts at 7pm and it gets dark at 8:45 ish. All participants will have 3 hours 45 min to complete this race. The Finish Line WILL CLOSE at 11pm.

Time Limit: All participants will have 3 hours 45 min (17:00 min per mile pace) to complete this race.
