The Georgia Tech Pi Mile Road Race, a storied 5K event in Atlanta, Georgia, invites runners to experience a cherished campus tradition on Saturday, March 28, 2026. As one of the longest continually running 5Ks in Atlanta, this race offers a unique opportunity to connect with the vibrant "Yellow Jacket spirit" and can even serve as a qualifier for the prestigious AJC Peachtree Road Race. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 70F and lows around 46F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant spring running weather.

The 5K course winds scenically through the heart of the Georgia Tech campus, traversing parts of the dedicated Tyler Brown Pi Mile Trail. Known for its "pretty hilly" profile, including some long, steep ascents, particularly around the second mile, the race presents a challenging yet rewarding experience on paved paths and sidewalks. Participants will enjoy diverse scenery, passing by iconic campus landmarks such as the Eco Commons, athletic fields, and the historic Tech Tower. While perhaps not a course for personal bests due to its elevation changes and turns, the engaging route offers plenty to absorb.

Beyond the physical challenge, the Pi Mile Road Race is renowned for its lively atmosphere, welcoming a community of students, faculty, alumni, families, and even four-legged companions. Many participants consider it a beloved tradition, returning year after year to run alongside fellow Yellow Jackets. Runners often praise the event for its good value, organization, quality t-shirts, and plentiful refreshments at the finish line. This historic race, honoring the legacy of Dean George C. Griffin and the memory of Tyler Brown, promises a memorable and spirited experience for all who toe the line.
