Get ready to experience the renowned Silver Comet 10K, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in Mableton, GA. This popular 10K race has earned a reputation as the flattest and fastest 10K in the Atlanta metro area, making it an excellent choice for runners chasing a new personal record or seeking a qualifying time for the AJC Peachtree Road Race.

The point-to-point course primarily unfolds along the beautiful, paved Silver Comet Trail, offering a traffic-free and scenic journey through serene wooded forest areas. Runners can expect minimal elevation changes, contributing to its fast profile. Aid stations are strategically placed at approximately mile 2 and mile 5, providing bottled water and enthusiastic support from local volunteers. The race kicks off from 4875 Floyd Road in Mableton and culminates at the picturesque Silver Comet Trailhead at 4573 Mavell Road in Smyrna, where participants can refuel with bananas and other goodies.

Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring pleasant temperatures, with highs around 66F and lows around 43F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal environment for a swift run. While the consistent, flat terrain is perfect for speed, the long, straight stretches can offer a unique mental challenge. The Silver Comet 10K, with its grassroots charm and commitment to a fast course, promises an unforgettable experience for both seasoned competitors and first-time 10K participants.
