2016 Tailgate 5K presented by Georgia's Own Credit Union

Some call it the "dog days" of summer, but we think it's the perfect time for a 5K! Enjoy this scenic and challenging course around beautiful Chastain Park while celebrating the coming football season and your favorite team.

The 2016 Tailgate 5K presented by Georgia's own Credit Union was formerly known as the Jog Days of Summer 5K. This is the 7th event in the 2016 Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Series. Click here for unofficial results.
