-----------------------------------
Atlanta Track Club is excited to bring back the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Polar Opposite Peachtree Road Race on January 3, 2026! Experience the Peachtree like never before - in the winter and in reverse. Starting at Piedmont Park and finishing at Lenox Square, the race course will have no left on 10th - you'll be turning right on Peachtree. And instead of climbing Cardiac Hill, you'll run downhill.

For the safety and enjoyment of all participants, no pets, or wheeled conveyances of any kind, including baby joggers/strollers, roller/inline skates, and bicycles, are permitted on the course. Headphones are strongly discouraged.
