Last year we donated over $4000 to the South Cobb Booster Club – your amazing volunteers – in support of their athletic programs for 2025 and the two churches that provide shuttles after the races for their community outreach efforts!!
We continue to be the flattest and the fastest 10k in the metro! Come snag your best AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifying time!

Officers will be at all major intersections. Please look at the course map and make sure you are familiar with the route.
- Start – Timing: The race starts at 7:00am. The start is on the sidewalk across the street from Kroger. Please cross Floyd at the NickaJack and Floyd road intersection (The crosswalk at the Kroger fuel and Walgreens) to avoid your timing chip from duplicate reads.

- Parking: Parking is allowed in the Kroger and Publix parking lots (4875 Floyd Road / NickaJack Road) – away from the stores – however, we recommend you be dropped off / picked up at the end – carpool! Concord Road Baptist Church has volunteered their 15 person bus to shuttle anyone who can’t work out carpooling or transportation. But the van will only carry 15 at a time so there may be a wait. T-shirts and post race goodies will be available at the finish line! If you park at the finish line please park at the School and not inside the trail head parking lot.
- Start and Finish Line Addresses: The start line address is: On the trail extension sidewalk across from Mableton Kroger: 4875 Floyd Road, Mableton, GA 30126. The finish line address is: Silver Comet Trail Head: Mavell Road – at deadend past Nickajack Elementary School (4555 Mavell Road SE), Smyrna, GA 30082. Please remember the trail head is still operational and the trail is not closed – do not block the parking lot. You may PARK, arrange pick up or carpool from the Nickajack Elementary School bus lot. Please do not park in the Silver Comet Trail Head parking lot.
- Water Stops: We have our awesome South Cobb High School coaches and a soccer team students volunteering for each water stop – At mile 2 and 5. Bottled water, bananas and other goodies will be available at the finish line. Remember that part of your registration fee supports the South Cobb sports booster club!!
