All participants will also receive access to a complimentary 10-week Peachtree training plan. “So rather than cancel, we decided to invest our resources, our time, our staff in delivering 40,000- 50,000 packages to people and the technology that will deliver that authentic Peachtree experience,” Kenah said.Īccording to the Atlanta Track Club, an app will be available soon where participants can track their time, upload GPS-driven results and measure their performances against other participants, listen to the sounds of the Peachtree and share their race on social media. There be no expo this year, and all race packets will be mailed. Also, the Peachtree Road Race finisher’s shirt will be unveiled prior to race day. Runners can attempt to reach their personal bests, anywhere in the world between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM. “As coronavirus has spiked in recent weeks here in Georgia, we recognize that this decision is the best and only responsible way forward.” “Atlanta Track Club will deliver a virtual experience worthy of the Peachtree name to ensure that runners and walkers feel the community, camaraderie and competition of the world’s largest 10K,” said Rich Kenah, executive director of the Atlanta Track Club and Peachtree race director, in a release. As cases continue to rise in the state of Georgia, the Atlanta Track Club decided it was best to transition the race to a wholly virtual format.

However, the raging Coronavirus pandemic forced organizers to move the race to Thanksgiving Day. The 2020 Peachtree Road Race is the world’s largest 10K race and is normally scheduled for July 4th each year.
