The Atlanta BeltLine Running Series(R) third annual Atlanta BeltLine Eastside 10K got off to a chilly start on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2013 at Stoveworks. A Peachtree Qualifier, the race included the highly-popular College Alumni Tailgate Challenge and the Neighborhood Challenge.
“As a Peachtree Qualifier, the demand for the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside 10K has been enormous,” said Atlanta BeltLine Running Series Race Director Dan Popovic. “Since the Peachtree Road Race began assigning start positions based on performance in qualifier races, this ups the ante on the value of participation to the running community.”
This run/walk on the Eastside Trail winds through the Inman Park, Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, Poncey Highland, and Virginia Highland neighborhoods. Participants passed by the new Historic Fourth Ward Park and Skate Park, enjoyed beautiful vistas of downtown and midtown Atlanta, traveled an off-road stretch of the Atlanta BeltLine corridor, and enjoyed a jaunt through Piedmont Park.
Check out images from the event.
