Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA

Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA is run in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 12, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all start together at 7:30 a.m., which is the point of the series: you run into the sunrise on a scenic course. Timing is optional, and athletes receive a performance race shirt, a finisher medal and a digital training pack.

These are road distances, so your usual road paces apply. The single 7:30 a.m. start makes the logistics simple, one arrival and one warm-up window for a whole group, but it also means you should pick your distance honestly rather than by what your friends entered. Twelve weeks with a weekly long run reaching 10 or 11 miles gets you comfortably through the half; without that block behind you, the 10K is the sharper choice and the family mile keeps everyone else involved.
