  • Comments: Amazing is only one word of many that comes to mind when describing this race. This was my first Peachtree, and I had not understood the hype of this race going into it. People were buying numbers online for $300. I was thinking just to get the coveted t-shirt at the end? I used to live in Buckhead and have driven Peachtree Street more times than I can count, but what a different animal it was on race day. Six miles of festivity is the best way to put it. Bands playing, people cheering, thousands of people running the same race as you, and it seemed almost as many were cheering you on. I made a point to thank as many volunteers as I had breath for. I waved at everyone who waved at me. I tried to make a special point to wave to the disabled people along the route. Out front of the hospital there was a lady who looked like she was status post left sided stroke. Her nurse was with her, and she was in a wheel chair and had a gown on. I waved and waved until she saw me and she broke out

  • Comments: Peachtree is always a fun race. Enjoyed being in the seeded groups to be able to get started earlier and not wait around for an hour after the start. Need to work on my hills and overall running and return in 2008 and try for a Sub 45min run.

  • Comments: Awesome race to do! Lots of music being played (both recorded and live) which helped make the race go quick. Plenty of official drink stations along with many kind spectators handing out water of their own and ice. Props to the people who put this race on! I will definitely do this race again next year!

  • Comments: As always this race is just fun. The crowd support is amazing and really makes this an excellent race. Being on the fourth most people are in good spirits and are there to really have a good time..it's not as serious as other races.

  • Comments: I've run this race for probably 15 years, but last year was the first time I qualified for TG-1b. They messed up the timing mats last year (and I broke my toe two days before the race!), so I didn't get timed. I'm really glad everything went ok today!

  • Comments: Had a great time today. The weather was perfect and I looked forward to running the P'tree after a long hiatus. As today's run plan called for a 5 mile tempo run, with 3 miles @ 9:16 pace or faster, I couldn't have asked for a better context. Being in TG 6 meant I had no way of starting out too fast, but it did mean a fair amount of bobbing and weaving as the run progressed. And being in TG 6 also meant a LONG wait to cross the "Start" line. The race started @ 7:30AM; I crossed the "Start" line at 8:16. The first mile WAS slow, but then things opened up enough to be able to pick up the pace to where I needed to be; I accomplished my goal and then just enjoyed the rest of the run to Piedmont Park. Once in the park, I grabbed my t-shirt and walked over to the "T" balloon to try and connect with the NAMC/BT crew. Let's see, I saw Ant, David, Jonathan, Jamie, Rock Star (aka Andrew), Steven, Kraig, Courtney, Ron, & Chris Z. - did I miss anybody? After chatting for a few minutes, I

  • Comments: Usually I walk away from Peachtree swearing up and down that "this is my last year for a while" .. well, with this years weather and results, it's hard to say anything negative. Good race today.

  • Comments: Didn't seem to be a lot of post race stuff going on, but maybe I just didn't look in the right spot. Great race overall, look forward to doing it again next year.
