From bananas to Disney princesses, these are the most zany AJC Peachtree Road Race costumes
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.

One gentleman caught the eyes of our team with his props and performance more than just his costume. He managed to juggle while running the race.

Some attempted to find the most unusual ways to sport the American flag.
A father and son duo decided to fast forward to summer vacation with their Hawaiian-themed costumes Thursday.
