Race Report
The largest 10k in the world, even though they’re all the same distance, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Roadrace is a lot of fun! It’s hot, crowded, and uphill, so you’re not likely to PR (especially if you run with the Slackers). All that said, it’s basically a 6-mile party. We had a wonderful time!
