ATLANTA - NOVEMBER 21, 2020 -- We won't have four lanes of Peachtree Road or the entire width of
10th Street to cross this year, but runners and walkers in the
Virtual Running of the AJC Peachtree Road Race can make their own memories and
win money toward their next home improvement project by entering the
Start/Finish Line Contest Built by Home Depot.
Atlanta Track Club, organizers of the Peachtree, kicked off the
competition with a chalk mural in front of their headquarters in Atlanta's
Armour Yards District. Local designer Courtney Garvin brought the mural to life
over the span of six hours earlier this month. "I made it look kind of digital
because it's virtual this year," said Garvin of her design. "And there are fall
leaves because it's the one time we will have the Peachtree in the fall."
To be part of the contest, share your start/finish line - whether it
be made of chalk, paint, balloons or anything else you can think of - with
Atlanta Track Club on social media using
hashtags #AJCPRR #PRRStartFinish. Entries will be accepted on Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram and through email at social@atlantatrackclub.org from November 23 - 29.
Monday, November 30, the Top 10
entries will be placed on Facebook for a vote. Winners will be announced
Wednesday, December 2 with 1st, 2nd and 3rd highest votes receiving $500, $250
and $100 gift cards to Home Depot.
