This was my first year doing Peachtree. I became a member of the Atlanta track club so that I could get guaranteed entry into Peachtree.
The expo was so much fun! I got a lot of freebies and beer. It was easy to get to and I spent a good couple of hours hanging out and exploring the expo.
For being the largest 10k you would never guess it because they do such a good job with keeping everyone in their areas and not letting it get too crowded or busy. Everyone goes to their respective corrals based on a time that you submit from a previous race that does get verified. The train was easy to take to get to the starting line as well.
There were water stations set up on the walk to the starting line which I thought was so great. There were tons of photographers around taking pictures which got a little overwhelming but I was happy to have lots of pictures to look back on. The race got under way right on top. I wish there had been just a few more port-a-potties as the lines became really long for them. Which of course is to be expected.
The race itself is a bit difficult. As someone who normally trains on flat terrain, the hills were hard for me. There are more than one and they can be long. Other than that, the course itself is fun to run and there were so many people on the streets cheering us on. There were people with water guns to soak us if we asked, there were sprinklers set up that we could run through to cool off, there were bars set up outside with beers to hand to runners if they wanted them. There were tons of aid stations set up at each mile as well. It was extremely hot this year but the race did such a good job of making sure participants were safe.

At the end of the race you get your finishers shirt, a whole foods box of snacks, and to enjoy the post race celebration in a beautiful park.

I highly recommend this race as a bucket list race. I may not do it every year because it is a race I have to travel to but the race itself only costs $35. If you are local, I'd do this race every single year.
