The mystique of the Peachtree Road Race T-shirt
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The 39th Peachtree Road Race is almost here, and already participants and race fans alike are speculating on what this year’s shirt will look like. It’s as much a ritual as the 10K event itself, since the design isn’t revealed until runners pick up their shirts after the race.
Yet a lot of participants admit they won’t do anything more with the shirt after receiving it. They stick in a drawer and say they wouldn’t go out in public wearing it.
And still others say that the Peachtree Road Race shirt is a symbol above all else, a souvenir of their participation, or a testament to a personal goal or other desire to get out with 55,000 others and get involved in one of Atlanta’s signature July 4 events.
What does the Peachtree Road Race shirt mean to you? And how much do you care what the shirt looks like this year?
We’ve been asking you for several weeks now which of the five 2008 shirt finalists you like, and while this is an unofficial poll (and won’t influence the final decision, which already has been made), it has generated plenty of attention. Vote here, and see how well the shirt designs are doing with others.
And you’ve been voting for your favorite Peachtree Road Race shirts from past years.

And enjoy the Peachtree Road Race!
