Recurring Half Marathon races near Rome, Georgia

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Dalton Red Carpet Half Marathon

The Dalton Red Carpet Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile race in Dalton, Georgia, scheduled for a Saturday in October. The public listing specifies the half marathon as the race category, with no shorter or full marathon distances indicated. The available race page offers limited course details, meaning there is no dependable route description, elevation information, field size, or history to provide. The listing notes the race date is an estimate and the event currently has no reviews on Raceentry.com.

Silver Comet Half & Full Marathon

The Silver Comet Half & Full Marathon takes place entirely on the Silver Comet Trail in Mableton, Georgia, located just outside Atlanta, on the final Saturday of October. The primary races are USATF-certified out-and-back courses, and a 10K is also included in the race series. The marathon is eligible as a Boston Qualifier, and the level, paved trail offers both new runners and those seeking personal bests a straightforward, quick path free from city traffic. The course crosses extended sections of paved path through forested areas in Atlanta’s northwestern suburbs. It utilizes the Silver Comet Trail in Cobb County, which is part of a former rail corridor beginning just inside the perimeter highway and extending west toward Alabama. Typically, over 1,500 runners participate, and the trail also attracts cyclists, families, and casual users on days other than the race. Silver Comet Races organizes the events; the organization was established by Dana Greene, and funds raised from the race benefit community initiatives and school running clubs.

Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Piedmont, AL (45)

Lula Lake Trail Blazer

The Lula Lake Trail Blazer is a trail-running race series held on Lula Lake Land Trust property, spanning Lookout Mountain. Established in 2019, it provides 10K, half marathon, and 50K distances for participants seeking dirt paths, ascents, and marked singletrack over a road-race format. The routes incorporate Lula Lake trail systems connected to over 40 miles of trails constructed by the land trust, featuring the Moonshine trails, Cloudland Connector Trail, and Durham Mine Trails. Proceeds from entry fees support trail upkeep, new trail development, and the land trust’s conservation efforts. The event also includes food, beverages, live music, a Friday campout with a bonfire and headlamp warm-up run, and a 21-and-over beer mile consisting of four beers and four laps on a gravel-road circuit.

Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Atlanta

The Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon is a trail race starting at AMC Theatres in Kennesaw, near Atlanta. Runners may select the 5K, 10K, or half marathon. Veterans may enter without charge by showing a government-issued veteran ID. The course follows local trails instead of city streets, focusing on off-road running with multiple distance choices. All finishers get a custom award, participants receive race shirts, and prizes are awarded to overall winners and age-group runners in five-year categories.

Early Bird Turkey Trot 5K, 10K, 15K, & Half Marathon

The Early Bird Turkey Trot takes place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving in Kennesaw and Marietta, offering in-person 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon races. The same distances are available virtually, allowing participation remotely. This event is part of the Five Star NTP race series and serves as an early iteration of the organizer’s Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, providing an opportunity to run before the holiday. The race originated from a Five Star NTP custom of offering a complimentary 5K entry to returning runners: those who completed any of the organizer’s races between early December and mid-November qualify for one in-person Turkey Trot 5K entry. Participants not qualifying can still register for a modest fee. Shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals are available as optional purchases, not included automatically. The event relies on local charity and volunteer assistance, with a charity partner receiving donations and volunteers earning free future races for their morning's work.

Crazies Trifecta

The Crazies Trifecta requires runners to complete three half marathons on three consecutive days in DeKalb County, Alabama. The total distance for the series is 39.3 miles, with runs originating in Rainsville and other locations along the Tour of DeKalb County. A single entry fee covers all three days. The participant limit is 100, indicating a focused group rather than a large-scale event. The event maintains a simple format: there is no official timing, no water stations along the courses, and no prize money or door prizes. Runners receive the precise starting locations via email two weeks prior to the initial run. All participants who complete all three half marathons will receive custom merchandise. Registration also includes a free entry into the Rainsville Freedom Run. All funds raised benefit Rainsville Freedom Run charities, providing the series with a local, understated objective beyond the personal challenge.

Berry Half/10K/5K

The Berry Half/10K/5K takes place in early March on Berry College’s 27,000-acre campus in Rome, Georgia. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, 5K, or Kids Fun Run, making the event suitable for seasoned runners, families, and newcomers. The campus itself is a key attraction: Berry is noted as the world’s largest campus, featuring extensive woodlands, historic academic structures, open fields, and over 1,200 deer. The race routes are contained within Berry College, beginning and ending at the Mount Berry campus along Martha Berry Highway. This race series serves as the main fundraising effort for Berry College Elementary & Middle School, supporting facility and technology improvements, curriculum development, and scholarships. This school affiliation is evident on race day through the numerous volunteers assisting with packet preparation, runner registration, aid stations, course monitoring, traffic direction, refreshment provision, and medal distribution. The event has been held for almost twenty years, recording over 22,500 finishers and more than 107,000 race miles accumulated throughout its history.

Chief Ladiga 100

The Chief Ladiga 100 is a 100-mile ultramarathon held on the paved Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama, which connects to the Pinhoti Trail system. The course is an out-and-back design, requiring participants to traverse the same path in both directions over day and night. While relatively flat for a 100-mile race, the distance, the repeated section, and the 30-hour time limit present a significant endurance challenge. Aid stations are positioned approximately every 5 miles, establishing a consistent pace and simplifying logistics compared to more remote mountain races. The race has a limited field size and attracts ultrarunners seeking a fast 100-mile course and a Western States 100 qualifying opportunity. The Anniston Runners Club, supported by committed volunteers, manages the event and contributes to local charities.

About Half Marathon races in Rome, Georgia

Rome, GA Training Notes

Rome, Georgia hosts 13 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Rome like a foothills town, with river miles, campus loops, and short climbs always close. Berry College gives you a great track and tons of out and back trails, plus the Berry Half Marathon when you want an anchor race. The AdventHealth Redmond ECO Greenway gives runners a 16-mile multi-purpose trail system along the riverfront. Wire2Wire Running Club-ROME keeps the week honest with Monday runs at 6:02pm. The Rome club rotates through Barron Stadium, GoGo Running store, Berry College, and Downtown Rome at Bridgepoint Plaza. A Race to Remember 5K, Dellinger Dash 3K, and the gary tillman memorial clocktower 5k road race keep the calendar moving.

Cyclists ride Rome for Z2 river spins, gravel days, and climbing that shows up fast. The AdventHealth ECO Greenway keeps easy base miles paved and close to Downtown Rome. S. Bicycle Route 21 and the Rome Spur use mostly two-lane country roads through Cave Spring and Rome. Blossom Hill Trail gives intermediate mountain bikers a 2-mile loop with narrow, rolling terrain. Jackson Hill Trails gives singletrack riders a 5-mile system of undulating, unpaved trails just off Downtown Rome. The route covers 7 km with 1,348 meters of gain. The brief names Spin For Special OPS, not a local cycling club, as the anchor ride.

Spring and fall are the best training blocks here, with March through May and September through November feeling right for long runs, gran fondo prep, and steady Z2. Summer brings humid subtropical heat, so locals lean on shaded trail systems, riverfront miles, and earlier starts. A canopy of trees covers the trail system, and that matters on warm, sunny days. Winter still lets runners and riders get out because cold temps are generally not extreme. Wire2Wire keeps the rain-or-shine mindset, and locals just swap some intensity for steadier base miles when dark hits early.
