The Lowdown

The Atlanta Marathon Weekend is a challenging, rolling-course marathon through Atlanta's most iconic neighborhoods. Runners experience steep hills, energetic crowd support, and landmarks such as the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, Piedmont Park, and Midtown. The race is known for its toughness, scenic urban course, and strong organization by Atlanta Track Club. The 2027 edition introduces a new date, new course, and new feel. (Run by the Atlanta Track Club; Publix was the title sponsor through 2026 — the 2027 edition is branded simply "Atlanta Marathon Weekend".)
