This scenic run takes you through one of Atlanta’s most charming neighborhoods, featuring tree-lined streets, historic homes, colorful murals, and plenty of local cheer.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or enjoying a relaxed jog, this fast yet challenging course offers something for everyone. The race is officially timed by On Time Results and is a qualifier for the AJC Peachtree Road Race, so bring your best stride!

Awards: Three deep: male and female in all categories, with overall male and female winners. Top finishers in each category will receive a coveted Kirkwood Spike Award. Adults in costume, with strollers, or dogs will also vie for special prizes from local Kirkwood Businesses!
T-Shirts: Extremely comfortable cotton blend race t-shirts will be distributed at packet pickup and day of race. Be sure to choose the size you prefer; we can only swap sizes after the race and options will be limited.
Parking: There are no officially designated areas for parking. We ask that all race attendees arrive early enough to walk to registration and the race start from areas around the neighborhood.
