Silver Comet Races
The Silver Comet Half and Full Marathon take place in Mableton, Georgia, located just outside of Atlanta. The event is held on the Silver Comet Trail, providing a course that is entirely paved and separated from vehicular traffic. Both race distances follow an out and back format along the trail.
The courses are USATF certified, and the full marathon serves as a Boston Marathon qualifier. The Silver Comet Trail is characterized by a flat and fast surface, making it suitable for runners attempting to reach specific time goals or personal records.
Distances available at this event:
- 13.1 miles (Half Marathon)
- 26.2 miles (Full Marathon)
The event is organized as a grassroots race on the final Saturday of October. In addition to these autumn races, a separate 10 km event is held annually on the second Saturday of March within the same trail system, starting on Floyd Road.
