Publix Atlanta Marathon & Half Marathon

Publix Atlanta Marathon & Half Marathon fills a full weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 6–7, 2027. The 5K opens the schedule on Saturday, while the marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles) both run on Sunday. Youth races round out the program with a 5K, a 3K, a 50-meter dash and a track zone for kids. The weekend is organized by Atlanta Track Club, and recent editions have sold out.

Both long courses run through the city's tree-lined streets and past its landmarks, and the half hosted the 2025 USATF Half Marathon Championships, so the front of the field is genuinely fast. The marathon counts toward the Abbott World Marathon Majors age-group world rankings, worth knowing if you follow those standings. Finishers receive a shirt and a medal, with entertainment along the route. A 16- to 18-week build with a weekly long run is the usual preparation for the marathon.
