WELCOME

Hello and welcome to the 50th Running of the AJC Peachtree Road Race!On behalf of Atlanta Track Club, we are excited to have you join us as we celebrate this historic edition of the world’s largest 10K on July 4. Atlanta Track Club, our event sponsors, our organizing committee, the City of Atlanta and more than 3,500 dedicated volunteers are looking forward to making this year’s event unforgettable for all 60,000 participants.

For the past 10 months, we have been working closely with the mayor’s office, the city’s police and fire departments, Fulton County Emergency Management Agency, emergency medical service units and other health and safety organizations to establish race guidelines and safety procedures related to weather and other possible issues. We ask that you pay attention to our Event Alert System, which is a color-coded flag system located at the start line and at hydration stations along the course and the finish. For more information, please see page 18. All of us at Atlanta Track Club wish you well on the remainder of your training and we look forward to seeing you on the Fourth!

Atlanta Track Club would like to thank all the people and organizations that make the 2019 AJC Peachtree Road Race possible.

BEFORE THE EVENT

MAILED NUMBERSIf you opted to have your race number mailed to you, numbers will begin to arrive in mid-June at the address you provided during registration. If your address has changed since that time, the number will be forwarded provided you have filed a change of address order with your post office. If several people in a household are receiving numbers, they may arrive separately. If you requested for your number to be mailed and it does not arrive by June 20, please contact Atlanta Track Club after that date. We will not be accepting calls regarding numbers prior to June 20.

ATHLETES WITH DISABILITIESIn order to serve all our athletes, Atlanta Track Club offers opportunities for Athletes With Disabilities (AWD). If you are an AWD registered for the AJC Peachtree Road Race, please email awd@atlantatrackclub.org to discuss what reasonable accommodations can be made based on your specific needs. Atlanta Track Club officials will provide reasonable accommodation to Athletes With Disabilities on an individualized basis.

RUNWAY TO THE WORLD CONTEST - Fly to Seoul, South Korea!The Delta Runway to the World Contest gives AJC Peachtree Road Race participants and anyone who registered or attempted to register for the race the opportunity to go from the world’s largest 10K to a race destination outside the United States. This year, in honor of the 50th AJC Peachtree Road Race, we are sending our winner to Seoul, South Korea. The winner and one guest will win round-trip tickets on Delta Airlines to Seoul, four nights in a hotel and entry into the 2020 Seoul Marathon in March! The winner of the contest will be announced on July 3 and be broadcast on 11Alive.

DEFERRED ENTRIESIf you are not able to attend this year’s event for any reason, you have three official options to defer your number for a guaranteed spot in next year’s race:

1. Send your unused number (no need to send the entire packet) to Atlanta Track Club, Attn. Deferred Entry, 201 Armour Drive, Atlanta, GA 30324. Do not bend or fold your number.

2. Bring your number to the solutions desk at the Peachtree Health & Fitness Expo on July 2 or July 3.

3. Email peachtree@atlantatrackclub.org if you elected to pick up your number at the Expo during registration but will not be attending the Expo. Include your name and bib number in your email.

The deadline for returning a number or requesting deferred entry is July 3, 2019. Please note: you will be responsible for paying a race entry fee in 2020. Your 2019 fee will not be refunded. Deferred entries are non-transferable.

RACE NUMBERS

TIMINGParticipants in the 2019 AJC Peachtree Road Race will be timed using the ChronoTrack B-Tag timing system. The lightweight timing tags are attached to the back of your race number and should not be removed. Do not bend or fold your race number, as the timing device may become inactive. The B-tag records each participant’s time as they cross the start line, and their net finish time is calculated when the participant crosses the finish line. To be included in official results, you must cross over the start, 5K and finish line timing mats. Those who do not register all three of these times will be disqualified and excluded from official results. Do not wear layers, such as a fuel belt, over your bib and do not wear your bib on your back, as this can cause your timing tag to not be read. Wearing your bib improperly could result in improper scoring and possible disqualification.

RACE NUMBER PICKUPThose picking up their race number at the Expo will be required to show a copy of their race number confirmation email as well as some form of ID. Acceptable forms include driver’s license, passport, school ID, report card, insurance card, library card, etc. Your race number confirmation email will arrive by June 24. Click here to confirm your race number. If you are unable to make it to the Expo, someone may pick up your number for you. They will need to show a copy of your ID as well as your race number confirmation email. Race numbers will not be available for pick up on race morning.

RACE NUMBER TRANSFER (June 10-24)If for some reason you are unable to participate in the 2019 AJC Peachtree Road Race, you may officially transfer your race number to another non-registered runner through our online system, which will only be open through June 24. You will be responsible for physically transferring your bib to the transfer recipient. Race organizers will not assign a new bib.

Key Items to Note:• To transfer your bib, you must find a non-registered

runner interested in officially participating in the 2019 AJC Peachtree Road Race. Registered participants often find non-registered runners looking for an official number on Atlanta Track Club’s Facebook page.

• You will not be refunded/reimbursed for your original registration; any transfer compensation must be arranged between you and the transfer recipient. The recipient will be charged a $20 transfer fee to complete the transfer. NOTE: Although the AJC Peachtree Road Race is not responsible for the terms of payment between parties in the transfer entry process, we do not condone the resale of registrations at elevated prices.

• Click here to access the transfer registration link. Both parties will need to complete the form in order for the transfer to be official. Atlanta Track Club reserves the right to disqualify race results for anyone who has transferred their bib without going through the official race number transfer process.

SPECTATOR VIEWING AREASDue to security, spectating is not available at the start line.Atlanta Track Club recommends spectators begin lining the roadway at least half a mile south of the start line, near Piedmont Ave. MARTA is the easiest way to get around on event day to many locations along the course. Popular viewing areas for the race include:

• Cardiac Hill: From the bottom of the famous hill near Peachtree Battle just before Mile 3, all the way to the top at Piedmont Hospital, spectators line the incline to encourage participants through one of the event’s toughest stretches.

• Colony Square: From MARTA, exit the Arts Center station. Walk east up 15th St. to Peachtree St.

• 10th and Peachtree: From MARTA, exit at the Midtown station and walk east up 10th St. to Peachtree St.

START

START WAVE PLACEMENTParticipants who submitted a verifiable finish time from a USATF certified road race course during registration were placed in the appropriate start wave based on their time. All others, including those who did not submit a time during registration, or those submitted a time that was unable to be verified, were randomly placed in one of the later start waves. All start wave assignments are final. Your start wave is designated by the letter listed on your race number, except for the seeded wave which just has a number. If you’d like to run with someone assigned to a different start wave, you may do so by running together in the later wave. For example, if your number is in Wave A and your friend or family member is in Wave L, you may run together in Wave L. Click here for additional information on start wave placement.

START TIMESTo the right are the start times for each wave. Participants should arrive at the start area at least one hour prior to the scheduled start time for their wave. Participants must begin the event before the official starting line close time of 8:50 a.m. in order to receive an official finish time. To be included in the official results, participants must cross over the start mat to activate the timing tag. Additionally, those that do not show a start, 5K and finish time will be disqualified and excluded from official results.

FINISHER’S T-SHIRTSThe T-shirt area is located in the finish chute just past the water station. Shirts are organized by size with the smallest sizes to your left, and larger sizes to the right. You may not pick up a T-shirt for another runner even if you have their race number. The Peachtree shirt is a finisher’s shirt – no exceptions! For questions regarding your Peachtree finisher’s T-shirt, email peachtree@atlantatrackclub.org.

FINISH AREA SERVICESShortly after you cross the finish line you will receive a chilled bottle of Dasani water and a bag of chips, compliments of ALDI. Outside the finish chute, stop by the CLIF container for a full sized bar. And be sure to pick up a frozen treat – a red, white and blue popsicle also provided by ALDI. These will be available on 10th St, next to the POWERADE and other Coca-Cola products.

TOP 1000 MUGSThe top 500 men and the top 500 women will receive a coveted top finisher mug courtesy of Yuengling. Those who believe they have finished in the Top 500 women or top 500 men

can visit the Top 1000 tent in the post-race festival area beginning at 8:00 a.m. If you are unable to pick up your mug on race day, please contact Atlanta Track Club.

ATLANTA TRACK CLUB MEMBER AREAAtlanta Track Club members are invited to join us at Park Tavern for a special celebration. Members over 21 can enjoy a complimentary Yuengling Light Lager, along with bananas and bagels. 680 the Fan will be broadcasting live from the member area, bringing all of Atlanta the sounds of the party. Members must have “post-race party” designated on their bib, a member wristband, or their member key fobs to be allowed access.

MEDICAL SUPPORT Medical staff is located at the start, along the course and at the finish. The main medical tent is just off to the left after you cross the finish line. Two additional medical tents are located in the meadow (just inside the park along 10th St.) and behind the Anthem Family Meeting area. Medical staff will also be circulating throughout the finish area. Each medical tent can be identified by tall, red signs with a medical cross and is equipped with a team of medical professionals, ambulances, emergency and first aid supplies. It is important you wear your race number and not someone else’s number. Should an emergency occur, event organizers need to be able to contact someone for you. Don’t forget to fill out the emergency contact information on the back of your race number.

SAFETY & SECURITY

AJC PEACHTREE ROAD RACE SAFETY & SECURITYSafety is Atlanta Track Club’s top priority. With the help of the City of Atlanta and other local, regional and national agencies, we have done extensive planning to ensure the safety of our participants, spectators, volunteers and partners. We would like everyone to be aware of some of the actions we are taking and call out some simple things participants, volunteers and spectators can do to help make the 2019 AJC Peachtree Road Race a great, safe event.

There will be a substantial law enforcement presence at the start, along the course, at the finish line and in the post-event area. Several restricted areas are located at the start around Lenox Square and at the finish line in Piedmont Park – please plan accordingly by allowing yourself ample time to travel to the start line. Also familiarize yourself with the prohibited items list as persons with any of these items will not be admitted into a start corral.

Designated entry and exit points will be in place around the Piedmont Park finish area. Anyone entering the Piedmont Park finish area with a backpack, bag, purse, etc. will be subject to search. We ask that you leave bags and other extra items at home to expedite movement throughout the day. Any bags will need to be emptied into a clear plastic bag which we will provide upon entry into the park.

Remember: See something, say something. Be vigilant. If you see something suspicious, contact the nearest police officer or call 911.

EVENT ALERT SYSTEM (EAS)Event Alert System signs will be located at the start line, along the course at the hydration stations and in the finish area. The signs will communicate the specific alert level, which could range from low (green) to moderate (yellow) to high (red) to cancelled (black), and are based primarily on weather conditions.

Nope. All it takes is a scratch or two. Because every time you play the Lottery, Georgia kids are the real winners. That’s because for over 25 years the Georgia Lottery has contributed more than $20 billion to education. On top of that, more than 1.8 million HOPE scholars have gone to college and more than 1.6 million four-year-olds have attended a Lottery-funded Pre-K Program. That qualifi es as a rocket booster in our book.

SUSTAINABILITY

In 2019, Atlanta Track Club has committed to implementing green initiatives that reduce waste, promote sustainable and responsible consumption and support the local community of Atlanta. With the Club hosting nearly 150,000 participants annually we realize the importance of taking steps to promote greater environmental responsibility in Running City USA.

Our goals for the 50th Running of the AJC Peachtree Road Race are the following:

• Reduce the Club’s environmental footprint by diverting at least 80 percent of plastic and aluminum waste from the landfill

• Track and record measurements and statistics on waste diverted from the landfill

• Report the Club’s efforts publicly

• Produce recycled plastic park benches out of the plastic recycled on race day to be given to the public parks around Atlanta

What We Are doing • Peachtree Health & Fitness Expo: The Georgia World

Congress Center, the home of the Expo, is the largest LEED certified convention center in the U.S. We are working with them to recycle Expo waste and receive specific data of waste diverted from the landfill.

• Recycling Centers on Race Day: For the first time, we will designate “Recycling Centers” in the finish area of Piedmont Park.

• Green Team Volunteers: Each recycling center will be manned by Green Team Volunteers, individuals dedicated to helping participants recycle. In green vests, they are there to assist with placing the proper waste in each container.

• Member Area: At the post-race member party in Park Tavern, take note of our first-ever compost bins. This will be the our first time composting at Peachtree. Fruit peels, popsicle sticks and napkins can be thrown into these containers.

What You Can Do To Help• Carpool: Participants are encouraged to carpool or use

a rideshare company, such as Lyft, to get to and from the Peachtree Health & Fitness Expo.

• Public Transportation: Atlanta Track Club is proud to partner with MARTA in order to accommodate participants during for the Expo and on race day. Reference the MARTA section on page 13 for detailed info.

• Know Before You Throw: The Dasani plastic water bottle you’ll receive once you cross the finish line is recyclable. A variety of Coca-Cola products in aluminum cans and Powerade drinks also in plastic bottles can all be thrown in the recycling receptacles.

• Compost in the Member Area: Be on the lookout for our compost bins and discard your waste properly.

• Refill your Georgia Lottery water bottle: Thanks to Georgia Lottery, you will receive a reusable water bottle once you cross the finish line. Be sure to take full advantage of this and hydrate by visiting one of our Water Monster refilling stations in The Meadow.

• Volunteer with the Green Team: Do you have a special interest in helping with the Club’s Green Initiative at the Peachtree or other events? Email volunteers@atlantatrackclub.org.
