Course Terrain
The Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race is a 10K event starting at Lenox Square in Buckhead and ending on 10th Street at Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta. The point-to-point course runs south on Peachtree Road, features the infamous Cardiac Hill.
Elevation Changes
Mile 1: Starts fast with a gradual incline but generally feels flat. Miles 2-3: A steep, fast downhill stretch that gives runners momentum. Mile 3 to Mile 4: The notorious Cardiac Hill (historically named Hope Hill to honor the Shepherd Center). This is a tough, continuous climb ending near Piedmont Hospital. Miles 5-6: Mostly flat or gentle downhills winding into the finish.
