AJC Peachtree Road Race

Heading to the Peachtree? Here’s how to get there on MARTA

July 4, 2024

With the number of runners expected to exceed 50,000 this year, taking MARTA to the start line at Lenox Square could be your best option.

Starting this year, MARTA fare stickers will be available to put on your bib. The stickers were included in early bird race packets and were a hot item earlier this week at the Peachtree Health and Fitness Expo presented by Publix.

No sticker? You can buy a ticket or card at MARTA train stations and RideShare stores, and take the train to the Lenox or Buckhead stations.

Trains began running this morning at 4 a.m. After the race, walk to the Midtown station to head home.

If you prefer to have Uber, Lyft or a friend drive you, the race will have designated drop-off spots near the start line. Find those locations here.
