Lottery registration for the 43rd The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race will open at 7 a.m. Thursday and will stay open until 11:59 p.m. March 22. The 10K race, which features 60,000 runners, will be run on the Fourth of July. Go to ajc.com/peachtree to register.
Entrants for the race will be randomly selected after the lottery closes. Entrants will receive an email by March 26 with the results. A searchable database also will be available on peachtreeroadrace.org and ajc.com/peachtree March 26.
The entry is $35 plus processing fees, which will be charged only to runners who are selected. Winning entrants can pick up their numbers July 2-3 at the Peachtree Health and Fitness Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center, or pay $7.50 to have them mailed.
Those wishing to run in a group of as many as 10 people may select “Group” when they enter the lottery. When a group is selected, each participant will be slotted into the appropriate start wave based upon their submitted finished time.
Atlanta Track Club members will receive guaranteed entry into the race, as long as their memberships are current as of Feb. 1. “Streakers,” those who have participated in at least 10 AJC Peachtree Road Races, will receive special consideration if they aren’t selected in the lottery.
