Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race
The Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race is an annual 10 km event held in Atlanta, Georgia. Recognized as a long-standing tradition on the Fourth of July, the race is organized by the Atlanta Track Club and focuses on health, fitness, and community involvement. The event follows a point-to-point course that begins at Lenox Square and concludes at Piedmont Park.
Registration for the race follows a structured timeline involving different entry types. Members of the Atlanta Track Club receive guaranteed entry at a fixed price and placement in specific starting waves. Non-members may enter a general lottery system to secure a spot in the event. Additional entry opportunities include charity waves that support the Atlanta Track Club Foundation, as well as an official charity partner program.
The event atmosphere is supported by various initiatives, including an expo, a t-shirt design contest, and course entertainment. Participants can access training programs specifically designed for this race distance. In addition to the main road race, the organizers offer several related options:
- 10 km (Standard road race)
- Virtual Peachtree (Remote participation option)
- Peachtree Junior (Youth-focused event)
High school athletes may also participate through a dedicated high school elite category. The race utilizes a wave-based start system to manage the flow of the tens of thousands of participants who take part in the event each year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
