ATLANTA -- March 12, 2021 -- Nine non-profit organizations that serve Atlantans have been selected as the first-ever AJC Peachtree Road Race Charity Partners. The non-profits will receive a combined total of 205 guaranteed entries into the 52nd Running of the Peachtree, which will take place on July 3 and 4 in Atlanta. Participants will be required to raise a minimum of $1,000 for the non-profit in exchange for their registration.
"As Atlanta Track Club moves forward, engaging the community is the cornerstone of our strategic plan.," said Rich Kenah, the Peachtree's race director. "That begins with laying the foundation for other non-profits to raise money and awareness at Club events, and leads to other exciting initiatives like expanded youth programming and eventually laying the literal foundation for an indoor track and field facility right here in Atlanta for all to gather and share their message through the power of running and walking."
