The Atlanta BeltLine Southwest 5K is a Run/Walk along the Atlanta BeltLine Southwest Trail and through the historic West End and Westview neighborhoods.
The Atlanta BeltLine Southwest 5K race course will introduce participants to many local parks and features a 3/4 mile off-road jaunt within the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. It is the second 5K of the Atlanta BeltLine Running Series!
Team Challenge
As a part of the Southwest 5K we are holding a ‘Team Challenge’ for those who register and want to form a team. Your team can be a group made up from your neighborhood, run club, school, university, company, fraternity/sorority, closest friends or family members, or any other group you want.
Atlanta Streets Alive came to southwest Atlanta on Sunday, April 20, 2014, and the Westview Community Organization set up a space for hula hooping, gymnastics, and hot dogs to entertain passerby’s.
Atlanta Streets Alive temporarily closed the streets to automobile traffic with the goal to enable residents to use them for bicycling, walking, dancing, playing and fun ways to explore the community streets in a safer, healthier, more livable way. Over 16,000 people came out to participate in taking over the streets for a few hours!

Last week Creative Loafing wrote an article about Invest Atlanta, the City of Atlanta’s economic development arm, voting to purchase the Westside Trail land from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for $1.64 million. The Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail comprises of former railroad land that goes from Washington Park to Adair Park (including Westview!). The board’s vote to acquire the land puts the $43 million Atlanta BeltLine trail project one step closer to starting construction in the fall of 2014.
The Westside Trail is not to be confused with the existing West End/Westview spur trail going from the Westview Cemetery to Rose Circle Park, which was a project spearheaded in cooperation with the PATH Foundation. The new Westside Trail will be located inside the former train corridor and will include construction of a flat cemented path, lighting and surveillance cameras for security, benches for resting, and landscaping.
Exciting big development for Westview in 2014!
