About the Popsicle 5K/10K/Half - Atlanta
The course runs out and back along the Atlanta BeltLine, starting and finishing at a brewery. The surface is paved trail, and the route is the same corridor for all distance options, just turning around at different points. Water is available at self-serve stations spaced along the way, though runners chasing a fast time may want to carry their own hydration.
Packet pickup opens on race morning, about an hour before the first wave goes off. The start area is at New Realm Brewing, which also serves as the finish, so there is a natural gathering spot before and after the race.

The Popsicle 5K/10K/Half - Atlanta has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
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 Jul 27, 2026.
