From the Organizer
On February 6th, 2027, an anticipated 1,000 runners will gather to the sound of bagpipes to compete in the 21st Annual Tartan Trot 5K/10K race. The Tartan Trot features two full loop “Peachtree qualifying” races that start and end at Saint Luke’s Presbyterian Church!
Virtual options available for the 5K and 10K.
In 2026, our 20th annual event, had another great year with over 900 participants. We are extremely grateful for all the support from our runners and sponsors. Funds from the race, along with generous donations from corporate and individual sponsors, helps Saint Luke’s provide financial and hands on support to many outreach partners locally and around the world including helping to send our youth going on summer trips.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
