Possum Trot 10K

Lace up for the 48th Annual Possum Trot 10K on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Roswell, GA, where a "Fun, Flat and FAST" course awaits runners of all levels. This well-regarded race winds along the picturesque banks of the Chattahoochee River, offering beautiful views of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Known as a rare flat course for the Atlanta area, the route features only one noticeable hill around mile 5.3, providing an excellent opportunity for personal bests and making it a popular Peachtree Road Race qualifier. Typical race day conditions in June see highs around 89F and lows around 68F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, so be prepared for a warm, potentially humid, summer run.

Starting and finishing at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, located at 9135 Willeo Road, this event is more than just a race; it's a cherished Roswell tradition that supports a vital cause. Proceeds from the Possum Trot benefit the Chattahoochee Nature Center's environmental education programs and wildlife rehabilitation efforts, connecting participants to nature and community. Runners can expect multiple water stations along the course to stay hydrated. Finishers are awarded a die-cast medal, and top performers receive placement pins. The race also offers a commemorative t-shirt and free race photos, along with free admission to the Chattahoochee Nature Center on race day. Don't miss the chance for a unique photo op with the race's beloved possum mascot, a tradition that adds to the festive atmosphere of this long-standing event.
