Lace up your running shoes for the 11th annual West Georgia Track Club Road Race, hitting the scenic streets of Carrollton, GA, on Saturday, March 14, 2026. This popular event offers both a 10K and a 5K distance, inviting runners of all abilities to experience the charm of Carrollton and the beauty of its renowned Greenbelt. Starting and finishing at 100 Greenway Parkway, the race kicks off at 8:00 AM, with race day registration and packet pickup available from 6:30 AM.

Both courses promise an engaging challenge, showcasing a mix of Carrollton's neighborhoods and the picturesque Greenbelt. The 5K is largely flat and fast, beginning with a downhill stretch on Tom Reeves Drive before joining the Greenbelt's shaded path along Buffalo Creek, though runners should be prepared for an uphill finish. The 10K course also features a fast downhill start, winding through quintessential Carrollton neighborhoods, past the University of West Georgia, and culminating in a beautiful Greenbelt section adorned with wooded bridges, covered tunnels, and the rolling falls at Hay's Mill, similarly ending with an uphill climb. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 66F and lows near 41F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation.

The West Georgia Track Club Road Race is more than just a run; it's a qualifying event for the prestigious AJC Peachtree Road Race, offering a fantastic opportunity to secure your spot in one of the country's largest road races. Every finisher will receive a commemorative medal, with cash prizes awarded to the top overall male and female runners in both distances, and age group winners earning commemorative gifts. Known for fostering a strong community spirit, this event welcomes all participants, reflecting the West Georgia Track Club's mission to promote health and wellness.
