Tritt Trot

Prepare for an invigorating challenge at the Tritt Trot, taking place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in scenic Marietta, GA. This community-focused event offers both a 5K and a 1 Mile Fun Run, making it perfect for runners of all ages and abilities. The 5K is a notable highlight, serving as a qualifier for the prestigious Peachtree Road Race.

Runners can anticipate a road course characterized by "lots of hills," promising an engaging and challenging experience through Marietta's terrain. The race kicks off from Tritt Elementary School at 4435 Post Oak Tritt Road, which also serves as the finish line. Typical race day conditions in early March often feature pleasant highs around 64°F and lows near 42°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather. What truly sets the Tritt Trot apart is its commitment to giving back, with all proceeds directly benefiting the Tritt PE Department.

As part of its environmentally conscious efforts, the event will not be distributing traditional race packets, reducing waste. Participants are encouraged to arrive early, as parking at the school is limited, with convenient overflow parking available at nearby locations like Alpine Lake Clubhouse and Chimney Springs Clubhouse. Join a field of typically 100-500 participants for a rewarding race day that combines fitness with a fantastic cause.
