2010 Peachtree Road Race

The 2010 Peachtree Road Race , or more for­mally known as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race 10k, is once again right around the cor­ner. The 41st run­ning of the AJC Peachtree Road Race will take place on Sun­day, July 4, 2010.

Mark your cal­en­dars, online reg­is­tra­tion for the 41st AJC Peachtree Road Race will open at 1 p.m. EST on Sun­day, March 21, 2010 at www.ajc.com/peachtree. This year will be dif­fer­ent because start­ing posi­tions for the AJC Peachtree Road Race will be performance-based instead of ran­dom assign­ments as in past years. In addi­tion, the num­ber of start waves will nearly dou­ble in 2010, allow­ing for smaller groups and bet­ter dis­tri­b­u­tion of par­tic­i­pants. The Atlanta Track Club, who is in charge of run­ning this event, believes these strides will alle­vi­ate con­ges­tion at the start line and along the coarse of the run.

For the 2010 run­ning event, Peachtree Road Race par­tic­i­pants will have the option of online reg­is­tra­tion or a mail-in appli­ca­tion. The beauty of reg­is­ter­ing online is that the par­tic­i­pants know right away if they have been cho­sen to run in the AJC Peachtree Road Race. The first 45,000 reg­is­trants to apply online will be accepted out of a total of 55,000 entries.

Those who were unable to obtain a spot for this year’s race event through online reg­is­tra­tion will have another oppor­tu­nity. Sun­day, March 28, 2010 is the date the tra­di­tional paper reg­is­tra­tion form will appear in the AJC. The remain­ing 10,000 slots for the Peachtree Road Race will be selected at ran­dom from all paper appli­ca­tions received by mail and post­marked by April 5, 2010.

The Peachtree Road Race is a 10K long dis­tance track event that was started in 1970 by the Atlanta Track Club. Back then it had 110 run­ners, but today it has more than 55,000 run­ners mak­ing it the sec­ond largest 10k in the world. Van­cou­ver holds the top spot for the worlds largest 10k with its “Sun Fun Run”.

The Peachtree Road Race become not only an Atlanta tra­di­tion but a major social event in which over approx­i­mately 150,000 observers stand on both sides of the street applaud­ing the runners.
