✨🌄 Chasing the Sun, Crushing Goals! 🏃♀️💨 Welcome to the 2027 Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1! There is no better way to start your day than stepping up to the starting line just as the world wakes up. Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist. This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave - so it never feels crowded, and you're never just a bib number. All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting. When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going. Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you.

Course & Travel Notes
Expect cool January weather in Atlanta with typical highs around 54°F and lows near 34°F, so bring layers and a light jacket; plan for rain gear since about a third of days see measurable precipitation. The 7:30 AM start time means you'll be running near sunrise at 7:42 AM, so consider a headlamp or reflective gear for the earliest miles. The venue sits at 1,066 feet elevation, which is relatively modest and shouldn't present significant acclimation concerns. Fulton County Airport Brown Field (FTY) is your nearest airport, located 7.7 miles from the race venue.
