Polar Opposite Peachtree
The Northside Hospital Polar Opposite Peachtree Road Race is a reverse, winter version of the Peachtree format held on January 2, 2027. The course starts at Piedmont Park (1000 Charles Allen Drive NE, Atlanta) and finishes at Lenox Square (3393 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta). The race distance is 10K and is open to participants ages 10 and older.
Registration reopens on November 2, 2026 and remains open until the event sells out. The first 24 hours of registration are exclusive to Atlanta Track Club members; afterward registration opens to the public on a first come, first served basis. Prorated 2026 club memberships are valid through December 31, 2026 and will auto renew for 2027 at the full rate. Entry fees are listed as Members $75 and Non-Members $85 plus additional fees.
Finishers receive an adidas crewneck sweatshirt and a medal; these items are distributed only to participants who complete the race and cross the finish line. The 10K course time limit is 1 hour and 45 minutes (17 minute per mile pace); participants who fall behind may be asked to move to the sidewalk and may not receive an official finisher result.
Event operations include rolling lane closures. No pets or wheeled conveyances are permitted on course; headphones are strongly discouraged. Wave assignments are based on submitted 5K and 10K performances from 2026; unsubmitted participants will be placed in later waves. Awards use gun time for overall and masters and net time for age groups; overall winners must be club members to receive prize money.
