35 upcoming half marathons found · 6 with finish-time stats
Atlanta is a BeltLine town at heart. Group runs chain together park loops, Eastside Trail segments, and neighborhood streets, spilling from Ponce City Market through Poncey-Highland and down into Grant Park. The terrain is rolling rather than flat, and the social infrastructure, coffee shops, brewery spots, post-run hangouts, is woven into the running routes themselves.
Racing here reflects that same mix of community feel and real elevation. The city supports a calendar that runs genuinely year-round, with runners leaning into early starts when the summer heat arrives. If you have been training the BeltLine, you already know what Atlanta's race courses are likely to feel like.

The Biggest and Longest-Running
The Atlanta races that stand out on the numbers: the biggest field, and the longest unbroken run of editions.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 15, 2026.
Common Questions About Running a Half Marathon in Atlanta
When is the best time of year to find a half marathon in Atlanta?
Fall, September through November, is the busiest stretch with 12 races. If summer heat does not put you off, August alone has 5 races on the calendar - the most of any single month. February is the quietest time, with 2 races, so if you need a winter tune-up, plan ahead.
Am I going to be the slowest person out there?
Only 2 of the 30 races here have published finish results, so there is limited data to go on. Of those two, the Christmas 5K/10K/Half Marathon in July - Atlanta had a median finish time of 36:41 across its distances, and the Popsicle 5K/10K/Half - Atlanta showed 35:47. Note those medians cover all distances at multi-distance events, not the half marathon alone, so treat them as a field-feel guide rather than a half marathon benchmark.
Is Atlanta's half marathon scene good for a first-timer?
Most races here offer a 5K and 10K on the same day as the half marathon, so if you want to step up gradually or bring friends at different fitness levels, that option is built into the calendar. The field sizes vary - the Christmas race had 408 finishers, the Popsicle race 233 - so you will not be alone out there, but these are not overwhelming crowds either.
Do Atlanta half marathons give out medals?
All 30 races here have published their giveaway details, and every one says it gives a shirt. None of the 30 say they give a medal. If a finisher medal matters to you, check individual race pages directly, as what races have published so far does not mention one.
