2020 AJC PEACHTREE ROAD RACE REGISTRATION

How does registration for the Peachtree lottery work?


On March 15, an online registration form for the AJC Peachtree Road Race will be available at ajc.com/peachtree. You will fill out the registration form and be asked to provide your credit card information. Your credit card will NOT be charged unless your entry is selected. There is no fee to enter the lottery. Participants may enter the lottery only once. Those entering multiple times will have their entries thrown out and will not be eligible for selection into the event. The lottery will remain open through 11:59 p.m. on March 31.



Regardless of the date and time one registers during the eight day period, all individuals and groups will have an equal chance of being selected for the event.



Is it possible to enter the lottery as a group?


Yes, if you are interested in participating in the event with family and friends, groups of up to 10 people may enter the lottery as a team. Each member of the team must register during the lottery window, March 15 - 31, to be included in the lottery. No one can register or be added to a team after lottery registration closes. During the selection process, if a "Team" is selected, everyone in the group will receive entry into the event with each individual within the "Team" being placed in the appropriate start wave based on their finish time submitted during registration. On the contrary, if a "Team" is not selected, no one in the group will receive an entry. Team registration is only available for the lottery. After lottery selection you are no longer identified by your team name.

How much is entry into the 2020 AJC Peachtree Road Race?


Entry into the AJC Peachtree Road Race is $38 for members (if joined or renewed by February 1 of current year) and $42 for non-members and members who join after the February 1 deadline and register through the lottery. Those wishing to have their race numbers mailed to them will be required to pay an additional shipping and handling fee.

I've just found out I won't be able to run. Can I get my money back?


As stated on the application and instructions, race fees are not refundable. We do offer a Number Transfer System and Deferred Entries are allowed prior to July 3. Please follow the listed instructions to appropriately transfer or defer your number.

What is the minimum age to run Peachtree?


You must be at least ten years old on the day of the race to run.

Will I need to submit my start wave placement time when I register online?


All event participants are encouraged to submit a time for start wave placement during registration since start wave assignments for the AJC Peachtree Road Race are performance based. Click here for more details on start wave placement details.

During registration event participants will have the opportunity to submit a finish time from a past race run on or after January 1, 2018 on a USATF certified course (5K, 10K) during registration, and will be placed in the appropriate start wave based on their time. All runners and walkers that have participated in the AJC Peachtree Road Race or another road racing event are encouraged to submit a finish time to receive earlier start wave placement. Those that do not submit a time will be randomly placed in one of the last start waves. You cannot change or add a qualifying time after your registration has been submitted.

Will the time I submit for start wave placement be verified?


Yes, all times submitted for start wave placement will be verified by Atlanta Track Club. If your time is not correct or cannot be verified, you will be randomly placed in one of the last start waves. Your name in registration must match your name in the results that you submit for verification.



I forgot to submit my start wave placement time during registration. Can I submit my time now?


No, all start wave placement times must be submitted during registration. No start wave placement times will be accepted or changed once your registration has been submitted.



I am going to run a race just after the registration period ends. May I submit that time after I register?


No, all start wave placement times must be submitted during registration. No times will be accepted or changed once your registration has been submitted.

Why are you asking people to submit a finish time from a past race for the Peachtree?


Having a finish time from a past race will help us assign participants to the appropriate start waves. Start waves are organized by performance to help ease congestion at the start as well as along the course.

Do I need to submit a finish time from a past race in order to register for the AJC Peachtree Road Race?


No, you are not required to submit a finish time from a past race, but if you have participated in a USATF certified road race within the past two years, you are encouraged to submit that time. Those that do not submit a finish time during registration will be randomly placed in one of the last start waves. Keep in mind, if you finished the previous two AJC Peachtree Road Races, you can submit that time upon registering for this year's event.

I haven't run a race within the last two years, what should I do?


If you haven't participated in a running event since January 1, 2018, you can participate in a 5K or 10K on a USATF certified course between now and the time that registration opens. A full listing of Atlanta-area running events can be found at atlantatrackclub.org. All submitted race times will be verified by Atlanta Track Club.

I have qualifying times from several different races, which should I use?


We encourage you to use the one with the fastest pace time.

May I submit a time from a previous AJC Peachtree Road Race?


Yes, you can submit your time from the previous two years.

What information will I need to have on hand to enter a finish time for a Peachtree start wave placement?


Those who wish to submit a finish time from a past race will need to provide the race name, date, distance and net finish time (chip time).

My name has changed since registration, can I change it?
