Peachtree City Classic 5K/15K |
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2025
Great news—our 2025 15K race will be an RRCA Regional Championship Event!
The 2025 Peachtree City Classic is live and accepting registrations for our 5K and the 15K Open. Both courses are USTAF Certified courses, with the Open 5K a Peachtree City Qualifying event.
Our courses showcase the best of Peachtree City, with most of the race winding along scenic, paved golf cart paths. You’ll run past lakes, through small tunnels, across bridges, and take in the beautiful greenbelt areas. It’s no surprise Georgia Athlete Magazine named it the Best Course! And with nearly 80% of our runners returning year after year, this is a race experience you won’t want to miss!
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.
