Northside Hospital Polar Opposite Peachtree Road Race
The third Running of the Northside Hospital Polar Opposite Peachtree Road Race will be held on January 2, 2027! Experience the Peachtree in a new and unique way; in the winter and in reverse. Starting at Piedmont Park and finishing at Lenox Square, there is no left on 10th - you'll be turning right on Peachtree. And instead of climbing Cardiac Hill, you'll run downhill.
Join us for what is becoming Atlanta's newest running tradition!
