The Atlanta Track Club organizes more than 30 running events each year, and participants continued regular sessions this week without any major race results emerging from the local calendar.

This ongoing activity matters now because the club’s schedule includes the Publix Atlanta Marathon Weekend on Feb. 28-Mar. 1, 2026, which also serves as the USATF Half Marathon Championships, giving runners a clear target for continued preparation in the coming months.

Recurring options remain available at named local spots. The Buckhead Run + Walk Club meets Tuesdays at 6:00 PM, while the Red Light Running Society gathers every Saturday. These sessions provide consistent community training opportunities across Atlanta neighborhoods.

Next Scheduled Events on the Calendar

The Tech Race 5K is set for Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 8:00 p.m., with registration listed as available online. Additional late-summer and fall events include the 2026 Atlanta Donut Dash 5K on Aug. 29, the Westside Park 5K/10K on Sep. 19, and the Monster Dash - Morningside-Lenox Park 5K on Oct. 24.

Trail options such as the Dirty Spokes series at Harbins Park and the Spartan Trifecta Weekend on March 14-15, 2026, add variety for runners seeking different challenges beyond road races.

Runners can check registration details and event updates directly through the Atlanta Track Club for the most current information on these listed dates and locations.
