The Northside Beltline 5K and 3K invites runners and walkers to experience one of Atlanta's most cherished urban trails on April 18, 2026. This popular event, part of the celebrated Atlanta Beltline Race Series, kicks off near the Bobby Jones Golf Course in Atlanta, GA. Participants can look forward to typical race day conditions, with comfortable highs around 75F and lows around 50F, and a minimal 15% chance of precipitation, providing an excellent climate for performance or a leisurely stroll.

The course unfolds along the scenic Northside Beltline Trail, a paved pathway acclaimed for its "City in a Forest" feel despite its urban setting. Runners will navigate through lush woodlands, across picturesque bridges spanning Tanyard Creek, and alongside the verdant Bobby Jones Golf Course. While largely flat and considered a quick course, the route features a rewarding downhill start that transitions to a manageable uphill finish. Hydration points will be available along the route to support participants. This race is also a certified AJC Peachtree Road Race qualifier.

Organized by the historic Atlanta Track Club, the Northside Beltline race offers an engaging atmosphere for all fitness levels. Whether tackling the competitive 5K or enjoying the non-competitive 3K, which uniquely welcomes strollers and dogs in their own wave, this event fosters a strong sense of community. Join thousands of fellow enthusiasts at 290 Colonial Homes Drive NW to be part of a series that has seen over 27,000 racers, and seize the opportunity to "Race the Loop!" by completing all Beltline events to earn a special commemorative medal.
