Ultimate Peach Race Series
What is the Ultimate Peach Series?
Your Year-long Running Challenge
The Ultimate Peach is a celebration of runners and walkers who take on four of Atlanta's premier races, pushing themselves farther with each event. This exclusive challenge starts with the Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race on July 4 and continues through the PNC Atlanta 10 Miler and Invesco QQQ Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon, culminating in the following year's Atlanta Marathon. It's the perfect way to stay motivated all year and take on longer distances if you never have before!

To earn the Ultimate Peach title, participants must complete all four races in-person and within the posted course time limits. Those who finish the series at the Atlanta Marathon will receive:
🏅 An exclusive Ultimate Peach medal to celebrate their achievements
🎉 VIP race-day perks at Atlanta Marathon
📛 Special recognition with a commemorative bib sticker identifying them as an Ultimate Peach finisher
