⚠️ Shirts Sold Out: ⚠️
Shirt exchanges will be available after 10:30 a.m. on race day, but availability is not guaranteed.
The Peachtree City Classic is changing things up this year! The Classic consists of only two different live races: the 5K and 15K Open. Both races are on certified courses. And, for the third year in a row, the 15K Open will be a RRCA State Championship Event.
Both races are run mostly on paved golf cart paths that will take you through the green belt areas, by lakes, through small tunnels, across bridges, and on the scenic routes through the planned community of Peachtree City. The course was voted the Best Course by Georgia Athlete Magazine. Nearly 80% of our participants each year are returning runners which speaks volumes about the quality of this race.
For more information, you can research our courses on Strava: 5K and 15K

WHY NO VIRTUAL OPTION?
Due to the popularity of our live races and our limited volunteer availability, The Classic will no longer be offering a virtual option.
Virtual Races became extremely popular during the 2020 Pandemic. When all other races were cancelled, The PTC Classic was able to carry on using the virtual race option. We are so grateful for all who participated in our previous virtual races and apologize for any inconvenience.
