Ultimate Peach Race Series Medal
The Ultimate Peach Race Series medal tells the story of an extraordinary journey across 55.5 miles and four of Atlanta Track Club's premier events. At its center is the 2026 Triple Peach Race Series medal, featuring a three-dimensional peach engraved with the three races that make up the series: the Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race, the PNC Atlanta 10 Miler and the Invesco QQQ Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon. Presented on Thanksgiving Day, this medal represents every step, every mile and every finish line along the 29.3-mile Triple Peach journey.
Complete the challenge by crossing the finish line of the 2027 Atlanta Marathon, and you'll earn the final piece: a custom ring designed to surround the Triple Peach medal. Together, the two pieces create the Ultimate Peach Race Series medal, transforming your Triple Peach achievement into the largest finisher medal Atlanta Track Club has ever produced and a fitting symbol of your dedication, perseverance and accomplishment.
