Race the Loop Series
Race the Loop in 2026 with the Beltline Race Series
Your 2026 Atlanta Beltline adventure starts here!
Now in its fourth year, the Race the Loop Series is expanding — with the exciting addition of the Southside Beltline 8K presented by Resurgens Orthopaedics, making it a four-event journey through Atlanta's most iconic trails and neighborhoods.
Runners and walkers are invited to take on the full challenge and earn a commemorative Race the Loop Series medal — awarded only to those who complete all four in-person events:
- Westside Beltline 10K-3K: February 7, 2026
- Northside Beltline 5K-3K: April 18, 2026
- Southside Beltline 8K-3K: August 1, 2026 (New)
- Eastside Beltline 12K-3K: December 5, 2026
Long Distance Bundle: Take on all four competitive events in the Race the Loop Series: Westside 10K, Northside 5K, Southside 8K and Eastside 12K. Each race is timed and eligible for age group awards, and participants receive four individual adidas race T-shirts and the Race the Loop Series medal upon completion.
3K Bundle: Complete all four non-competitive 3K events in the Race the Loop Series to receive the commemorative Race the Loop Series medal. All participants will receive four individual adidas race T-shirts, and strollers and dogs are welcome in this distance. While the 3K events are timed, they are not eligible for age group awards.
