Kirkwood Spring Fling 5K Road Race
The Kirkwood Spring Fling 5K Road Race takes place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Kirkwood, Atlanta, GA. The event location is listed as 11 Kirkwood Rd NE, Atlanta 30317.
The course runs through a residential neighborhood with tree-lined streets, historic homes, and colorful murals. The race is described as a fast yet challenging 5K, is officially timed by On Time Results, and serves as a qualifier for the AJC Peachtree Road Race. Participants should expect typical Atlanta spring conditions described as Heat, Hills, and Humidity, and will pass areas with local spectators and businesses.
Awards are presented three deep by male and female in all listed age groups: Overall, 12 & under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+. Top finishers in each category receive a Kirkwood Spike Award. Adults in costume, participants with strollers, and those with dogs may be eligible for special prizes offered by local businesses.
Event logistics note that cotton blend race t-shirts are distributed at packet pickup and on race day; size selections are limited for post-race swaps. There are no officially designated parking areas, and nearby festival activity around Bessie Branham Park may result in road closures or limited access. The race is part of the Kirkwood Spring Fling Festival and Tour of Homes, and proceeds benefit the Kirkwood Neighbors Organization, a local 501c3.
