Here’s how to train with the Atlanta Track Club for the AJC Peachtree Road Race

Lace up those running shoes and get ready to dash.
The AJC Peachtree Road Race happens July 4. Registration for the Peachtree Road Race lottery ended in March, but April 7 is another important milestone for metro Atlanta entrants.

That's when the Atlanta Track Club kicks off its in-training program with an event at each of its six AJC Peachtree Road Race in-training locations.

Show up to meet the coaches, evaluate the training site, and ask any questions. 

Here are a few things to know about ATC’s in-training program:

If you’re already registered...

Good news. You can pick up your snazzy swag "In-Training for Peachtree" shirt that comes with the registration package, along with your running log.
If you're still deciding on whether to join the training...

The kickoff events are the ideal chance to join up, since you can sign up for the training onsite. But really, what are you waiting for?
