Jack Abbott, 74, course director of the AJC Peachtree Road Race, surveys the progress of potholes and problem areas during a ride along with Atlanta Public Works employees along Peachtree Road in Atlanta, Ga., on Wednesday, June 19, 2019. Abbott, who is serving in his 21st and final year as volunteer course director, says that he starts the prep work for the race each year in late May, after which he works on it every day until the event itself on July 4. "I'm a perfectionist," says Abbott. "I can't reach that but I try." (Casey Sykes for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
