The 53rd running of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race is less than a month away.
After two years of virtual and hybrid events, the “world’s largest 10k” is finally getting back to normal. Of course, virtual runners will be participating this year, but on July 4th, most runners will once more line up near Lenox Square to start the race.
Participants should be aware of a few things for the big day. So here’s an FAQ.
