Peachtree Road Race update

I saw this last night :) At least they kept the start the same and the whole route down Peachtree the same...it will be weird not entering the park after the finish, but I agree that access to MARTA may be quicker. You'd always have to walk a few blocks from Piedmont anyway to get to a station.
 
Thanks for the update! I like the idea of ending closer to a Marta Station at the end!

The big bummer for me is that this is the only race I ever get to gloat about when I finished. I am usually way up in front so I am finished before half the race even starts. I just love feeling like I am so fast as I weave my way (tshirt in hand) through the crowds still watching the masses of people running. I love showing my shirt to bystanders as if I won some great prize. I know I know, I need treatment.

Cecilia -

Where are you usually seeded? I was in 1B last year and finally qualified for 1A this year :goodvibes:

Are you doing the Silver Comet 10k (fast, flat & great for that seeding time!) or do you use one of the other qualifying races?

Looking forward to this year, especially with virtually the same route :)
 

Scott,
Randy is in 1A... He is REALLY whining about this ending location. I have no idea why but he is threatening not to do the race. We will see.

I am just trying to get a time for group 3 LOL! I read last year that if you send in ANY time you can get in three so...... I am doing the Charles Harris in Tucker this weekend (Cross your fingers it's not raining Sat morning. I have never even tried to run in rain!)


(And Cecilia, you will understand that last year I called you some not so nice names LOL!)

Looks like it is eliminating the mostly down hill run down 10th in favor of a flat to uphill finish at Juniper and Ponce...the last thing we need is a hilly finish. Maybe that's the reason? :confused3

Good luck with your race!!
 
I was wondering when they were gonna decide. DH and I still plan to do it.
