Get those broom sticks and costumes ready!
Both the 5K and 8K courses are certified by USA Track and Field.
5K distance is eligible for coral placement for The Atlanta Journal & Constitution Peachtree Road Race.
8K course is NOT eligible for coral placement for The Atlanta Journal & Constitution Peachtree Road Race.
REGISTER BEFORE OCTOBER 8 TO BE GUARANTEED THE SHIRT SIZE YOU WANT.
Because we can never predict the number of registered runners after shirts are ordered, we have to estimate the additional number of shirts that will be needed after October 8 for registrations. If you register after October 8, you might have to choose an alternate shirt size when you pick up your shirt and race bib.
8:00 AM 8K Start | 8:15 AM 5K Start
There is a 9:45 am cut-off for the race. At this time, all participants will be moved to the sidewalks. If you plan to walk instead of running at the in-person event, due to time constraints of road closures we ask that you register for the 5K.
*** As the money is going directly to charity, we are unable to issue any refunds. ***
