The Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race is almost here.

And while Atlanta Track Club expects more than 50,000 runners to make their way down Peachtree Road on race day this Saturday, thousands more will be joining virtually from home — whether home is across town or halfway around the world.

For those virtual runners, here is how you can submit your run times come race day.

Virtual runners must complete their races and submit their results between July 2 and July 5 at noon, according to Atlanta Track Club.

Each registered virtual runner will receive an email that includes a dedicated link that will be used to submit results. Runners also can submit times via the track club’s app. There is no course time limit for virtual runners.

Virtual runners’ race kits, which include the Peachtree Road Race finisher T-shirt, commemorative bib and sponsor goodies, will be shipped after July 4. For those who purchased a commemorative medal, the medal will be included in the race kit.
