New Year's Run 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA

New Year's Run 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 26, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all start at 7:30 a.m. There is no timing chip and no pressure attached to the result: you pick an option, run or walk it, and collect a gift bag with a race shirt and a finisher medal. A virtual entry is available if you would rather choose your own place and time.

Running without a chip changes what the race is for. Nobody is going to post your split, so the half becomes a controlled long effort at the end of a fall block — useful if you are pointed at a spring marathon and want 13.1 miles at steady pace on holiday legs. A first half marathon needs ten to twelve weeks of building with one long run per week. Bring the family to the one-mile and everyone is done inside the same morning.
