Rather than focusing on accomplishing their personal best running records, a legion of AJC Peachtree Road Race participants focused on another personal record—sporting the most unique costume.

Below, you’ll find the costumes we spotted along the 10K course through Midtown and Buckhead that could not be ignored.

Here, you see some runners and walkers were determined to show the “fruits of their labor” via their costume choices.

Others wanted to honor the history of America’s birth by dressing as some of country’s icons like President Abraham Lincoln and the Statue of Liberty.

Some attempted to find the most unusual ways to sport the American flag.
