Possum Trot 10K & 1 mile Fun Run

Lace up for the 48th Annual Possum Trot 10K & 1 Mile Fun Run on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Roswell, GA. This long-standing community tradition, starting and finishing at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, promises a "fun, flat, and fast" course ideal for setting a personal best. Runners will enjoy picturesque views along the banks of the Chattahoochee River, with the 10K featuring a single notable hill around mile 5.3 that provides a final challenge before the finish. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 89°F and lows around 68°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, be prepared for a warm, yet often beautiful, summer morning run. Multiple water stations are available on the course to help keep runners hydrated.

Beyond the invigorating run, the Possum Trot is a Peachtree Road Race Qualifier, offering competitive runners a chance to secure their spot in Atlanta's iconic event. All in-person 10K finishers receive a die-cast medal, and top age group and overall finishers earn placement pins. Free race photos and complimentary admission to the Chattahoochee Nature Center for the entire day add to the runner experience. This event is more than just a race; all proceeds directly benefit the Chattahoochee Nature Center's vital environmental education programs, supporting the Chattahoochee River and its watershed. Don't miss the unique photo opportunity with a six-foot-tall possum, a beloved race tradition! Limited parking is available at the Nature Center, so plan to arrive early or consider utilizing the additional free parking at St. Francis Day School, about a mile walk from the start.
