The Peachtree City Running Club and Tri-PTC have teamed together to host the 6th edition of the marathon relay. Once again, the race will take place at the beautiful and convenient Shakerag Knoll in Peachtree City. Teams of four runners will combine to run a marathon, with each participant running a 10K. The event offers a great opportunity to meet new runners and engage in the spirit of friendly competition. Most importantly, this race is one for runners of all speeds and experience—your teammates will all have different skill levels.
The teams will be assigned based upon the speed of each runner. Each team will have runners of varying skill, experience, and speed. We try to assign teams so that all teams will finish at approximately the same time. Team assignments will be emailed on Sunday, May 29 at 5:00 P.M.-ish. You will receive an email with the information about your teammates and instructions for the race. Team members will have the opportunity to designate routes and create a team name (so start thinking of one now).
Thanks to generous donations by the Peachtree City Running Club and Tri-PTC, the race is FREE to all participants. If you aren't a member of either club, please talk to the members during the race and learn about all of the benefits for each team. If you are a member, use the event to meet new runner friends. You never know: you might meet your next training partner!
You've got questions, and we've got answers. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page to answer common questions and concerns. If you still have questions after reading the page, send and email to ptcmarathon@gmail.com, and we will try to answer you question as quickly as possible. Who knows? Your question might end up on FAQ page.
After the race ends, we will supply lots of food and drinks for participants, volunteers, and families (come to think of it, we will have plenty of food and drink during the race, as well). The award presentation will begin after the last team finisher. The top-3 teams will receive awards, and the winning team will have their names engraved in the coveted Peachtree City Marathon Relay Trophy, which will reside at Johnny's Pizza in Peachtree City for all diners to admire your accomplishments.
Thanks to the dedicated work of our race-day photographer Susan Bothe, runners will have to opportunity to look at and download their photos from the race for free! Check out the Shutterfly page to look at photos from the past events.
For the second year, the Peachtree City Marathon Relay counts as the June Grand Prix race for members of the Peachtree City Running Club. Members of the club are eligible to receive points in the Grand Prix. Prior to the race, we will give instructions on how the points will be allocated, and remember: you get bonus points for wearing your club merchandise.
For information about the routes, including course profiles and elevation comparisons, visit our Routes pages for lots of good information. In addition, we have added the routes to the Map My Run app, and you can download the courses onto your phone before the race. The routes for the 2016 race will be the same as the ones for the 2015 race. We plan on marking the courses in the weeks leading up to the race. They will be marked in colored spray chalk chevrons on the cart paths. If you would like to see the routes from previous years, send an email to ptcmarathon@gmail.com.
Registration is now open for the 2016 race! To register, click this link and fill-out the form. You should receive an email confirming your entrance into the race. Be careful when entering your email address—all race communication will be sent through emails, and we'd hate for you to miss out on the race because of a incorrectly entered email address. While we encourage runners of all speed and experience level, we require that all participants can complete a 10K in 90 minutes.
Putting on this race takes lots of help—from marking the course, to setting up the race, monitoring the race, and cleaning up after the race. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out this form. You will receive an email confirmation, and as the race nears, you will receive additional information about volunteering for the race. If you plan on participating in the race, we can still use your help in volunteering, and we will work around your running schedule.
Thanks again to our generous sponsors:
