Sunday was the final day to complete the virtual running of the AJC Peachtree Road Race. To keep runners safe due to the coronavirus pandemic, the annual race went virtual this year with participants having Nov. 26-29 to complete the world’s largest 10k.
In a traditional year, crowds cheer as finishers dash across the finish line, but you can still see who finished and the time it took them to complete the 6.2-mile race. Race results and finish times are available here. The current race results are not final and may not be entirely reflective of actual race times. Results for this year’s AJC Peachtree Road Race will not be official until 30 days after the race, as is the case with the race every year.
On the first three days of the race, participants took to the streets using an app and often social media to document their virtual run, and the third day was no different. Several runners decided to complete their race on the last day and here are just a few of the posts shared on social media.
Fun day completing the virtual #ajcprr. Especially proud of our 10 year old finisher! pic.twitter.com/ZG5RuS6NAj

This year the AJC Peachtree Road Race went virtual! We chalked a peach going over our own finish line. We can’t escape that Ga rain and suffered some damage to the piece but we got across the finish line just in time. #AJCPRR #PRRStartFinish #ajcprr2020 #peach @ajcprr @ajc pic.twitter.com/BaX0beHkal

Atlanta Track Club took to Twitter to encourage runners to complete the race on the final day.
Congratulations to the Fulton County Special K's for finishing their @ajcprr races this weekend! (Yes, their coach wore a turkey costume to inspire moral!🦃)

There is still over seven hours to complete your #AJCPRR. Finish strong! pic.twitter.com/nHLpuNjin4
I did it! I finished my 10k (6.2 miles) for the virtual Atlanta Peachtree Road race. My foot was giving me problems but I pursued. Horrible time (I walked almost every bit of it) but I did it. Yeah! #ajcprr This is one Atlanta tradition that 2020 can't stop.

We can’t travel to races but I guess this is kind of like the same thing? With everything that has happened this year, I’m glad to still have a sense of humor! 🤣 #ajcprr pic.twitter.com/eRcDPixXDz

I waited until the last day but I got it done. The official app thinks I ran 16.1 miles so I might be in time group one next year. #ajcprr pic.twitter.com/Bcj78NaC4A
