College Football Playoff Trophy Trot

logo

On Sunday, January 19th, the Trophy Trot will wind its way through the streets of downtown Atlanta. The Trophy Trot will feature races at both the 5K and 10K distances, offering a chance for locals as well as out-of-town fans to take part in national championship weekend.

Each Trophy Trot participant will receive a t-shirt and finisher's medal, and there will be multiple opportunities for participants to win tickets to the CFP National Championship, slated for Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday, January 20, 2025.

Proceeds from the Trophy Trot support the work of the College Football Playoff Foundation in lifting up teachers across the country. All donations to the CFP Foundation's primary initiative, Extra Yard for Teachers, directly support teacher resources or programming related to the recognition, recruitment and professional development of pre-K - 12 educators.

Atlanta Track Club events are held rain or shine. However, the threat of lightning or other severe weather in the vicinity of the event may result in a delay or cancellation. For full details on our event policies, including weather, refunds and cancellations, click here.
