Yesterday was my first Peachtree Road Race and it was absolutely Amazing!

The Atlanta track club does an incredible job of orchestrating the largest 10k in the world.

Starting with the World Class expo, that had so much going on that I seriously contemplated going down for a second day. Plan to spend a minimum of an hour and half to interact and take it all the vendors longer if you are going to shop! Make sure you get your Breeze card

Race day begins with that Breeze card for your Marta trip to the start line, which by the way is a shockingly long walk from the station to the corrals. So please dont cut yourself short on time... its a good warm up just dont want to stress...

The corral system is extremely impressive. Runners are grouped with like time individuals through the 20+ Corrals using qualified race times. This made the race incredibly smooth. With everyone in your wave being similar in pace you dont have to expend energy bobbing and weaving! This was a HUGE plus! When I pictured 60,000 people I dreaded the hoard slow down, but that didn't happen!

The course was pleasant and well supported throughout by volunteers and spectators. Aid stations were plentiful and I absolutely loved the various "sprinklers" that I was able to run through and cool off! Radio stations blasting tunes, couple of local bands jamming made for great listening. All sort of handouts along the course from beer to donuts to fruit not to mention the various trinkets, just adding to the Fun!
Finishing in Piedmont park and collecting the coveted T-shirt was beautiful. The Cold Dasani water the Iced Towels #THANKYOU
The Track club had a litte after party on the Park Tavern grounds, serving Yeungling and SHADE! Well worth the price of admission 😉
Joing the track club gets you a guaranteed entry in to the Peachtree road race and of course the after party, Bonus

Look forward to next year
