Lace up your shoes for the Northside Beltline parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event happening on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Atlanta, GA. This free, timed run welcomes walkers, joggers, and runners of all abilities to experience the picturesque Atlanta Beltline Trail. The course begins and ends conveniently next to the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center.

The Northside Beltline parkrun features an out-and-back course run entirely on paved tarmac paths, offering a generally fast route despite some gentle undulations. Runners will enjoy diverse scenery, starting enveloped by trees before transitioning to views alongside a golf course. While the start leads downhill, prepare for a manageable uphill finish. As a community event, the parkrun fosters a friendly atmosphere, often concluding with participants gathering for a post-run coffee. Typical race day conditions in early June include highs around 87F and lows of 66F, with a 13% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets this event apart is its inclusive "parkrun" philosophy: it's a weekly, volunteer-led gathering where personal bests are celebrated, but so is simply showing up and enjoying the outdoors. Since its inception in October 2019, it has built a reputation for its welcoming environment, attracting both local Atlantans and visiting tourists. Join the Northside Beltline parkrun for a rewarding and spirited 5K experience on Atlanta's beloved Beltline.
