Things to Do

What to eat after the AJC Peachtree Road Race?

You've just run (or walked) 6.2 miles down Peachtree Street, and now your stomach is growling for something delicious. So what do you reach for? Here are a few suggestions, some from fellow runners.

You've just run (or walked) 6.2 miles down Peachtree Street, and now your stomach is growling for something delicious. So what do you reach for? Here are a few suggestions, some from fellow runners. If you're still in Piedmont Park, a bagel will be among your options.

Last year, the Georgia Peach Council had fresh, juicy peaches waiting for runners. People are still raving about them.

Of course, if you want peaches, you could always have them in a nice warm cobbler. A la mode makes it even better.

There were Blue Bell ice cream cups and other frozen treats as you exited the park in 2010, but Atlanta has plenty of other places that will happily serve up a scoop.

Maybe you want to rehydrate before you eat something. What better way than with an ice cold Coke?

Or maybe a beer suits your needs better. Sweetwater, anyone?

Back to the food. If you're craving a hot dog and fries, the Varsity is the place to be. You'll have plenty of company from your fellow runners and their friends and family.

There's also the Waffle House, one of the AJC Peachtree Road Race sponsors. You can almost smell the sweet scent of waffles cooking. And you can use the coupon that comes in your race packet.

Doesn't a Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich (or biscuit, if you still want breakfast) sound yummy? Luckily, July 4 doesn't fall on a Sunday this year.

Some choose to pick up a dozen original Krispy Kremes on the way home. If the neon sign says "Fresh Hot Now," all the better.
