About the Possum Trot 10K & 1 mile Fun Run

The course follows the Chattahoochee River, staying flat and quick with the water nearby for most of the run. The race benefits environmental education programs tied to the river and its watershed, so the setting and the cause are the same thing. It also qualifies runners for the Peachtree Road Race, which draws a lot of the field.

The Chattahoochee Nature Center is behind the event, and the proceeds go directly to their programs. If you are chasing a Peachtree qualifier, this one gets the job done on a course that does not work against you.

Common Questions About the Possum Trot 10K & 1 mile Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Possum Trot 10K & 1 mile Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 10K field finished slower than 1:03:30, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:58:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Possum Trot 10K & 1 mile Fun Run a good first 10K?

With 878 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 10K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Possum Trot 10K & 1 mile Fun Run?

The 10K winner ran 34:55 while the median finisher took 1:03:30. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
