Last month, we asked you to submit your auditions to perform the national anthem ahead of the AJC Peachtree Road Race and Microsoft Peachtree Junior. It’s a longstanding race tradition, and Atlanta stepped up, sending in tons of audition videos.

Now, Atlanta Track Club has sifted through them all and selected finalists for each category — five adult singers vying to perform before the Peachtree Road Race on July 4 and three young singers hoping to sing ahead of Peachtree Junior on July 3.

Take a look at this year’s finalists and vote for your favorite now, starting with the adult singers. Voting runs through Sunday, June 9.
