Join the vibrant local running community for the Northside Beltline parkrun, a free weekly 5K event held on October 10, 2026, in Atlanta, GA. This inclusive event welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to experience a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Participants can expect typical race day conditions to be pleasant, with highs around 77°F and lows around 55°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation. As a true community event, it is entirely organized by dedicated volunteers, reflecting the global parkrun ethos of accessibility and camaraderie.

The 5K course is run entirely on paved tarmac paths, offering a smooth surface for your stride. It's an out-and-back route that begins at the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center, taking you along sections of the NW Beltline Connector Trail and the scenic Northside Beltline Trail. Runners will enjoy diverse scenery, with the initial portion winding through wooded areas and a river visible, before transitioning to a stretch alongside a golf course. While the start features a downhill segment, leading to an uphill finish described as a "longish drag," the course generally presents "very little undulation," making it a relatively quick and enjoyable run.

What makes the Northside Beltline parkrun truly special is its focus on community and free participation. Since its inception in October 2019, it has fostered a reputation for being a welcoming event where both locals and tourists can gather to get active. The Bitsy Grant Tennis Center serves as the hub for the event, offering convenient facilities. Following the 5K, participants are invited to join a post-parkrun coffee gathering at a local café, a cherished tradition that further builds the strong sense of community.
