2021 Participant Instructions Welcome

2021 PARTICIPANT INSTRUCTIONS WELCOME

Hello and welcome to the 52nd Running of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race! On behalf of Atlanta Track Club, we are excited to have you join us as we celebrate this Atlanta tradition. Atlanta Track Club, our event sponsors, our organizing committee, the City of Atlanta, and more than 3,500 dedicated volunteers are looking forward to making this year’s event unforgettable for all participants. Since the cancellation of the in-person running of the Peachtree in 2020, we have been working closely with the mayor’s office of emergency management, the city’s police and fire departments, Fulton County Emergency Management Agency, emergency medical service units, and other health and safety organizations to establish race guidelines and procedures related to Covid-19, weather, and other possible issues to ensure a safe event for all. We ask that you pay close attention to our Event Alert System, which is a color-coded flag system located at the start line and at hydration stations along the course and the finish. We ask all participants to respect our mask requirement in the start and finish line areas and remind you that no mask is required during the race itself. All of us at Atlanta Track Club wish you well on the remainder of your training and we look forward to seeing you at the event!

Be safe,

Rich Kenah Race Director

This year, we are sending our winner on a trip to a place of their choosing anywhere in the U.S. - including Hawaii or Alaska! The winner and one guest will receive round-trip tickets on Delta Air Lines.

The winner of the contest will be announced July 4 on 11 Alive’s broadcast and on Atlanta Track Club’s social media channels.

DEFERRED ENTRIES (IN-PERSON ONLY) If you will not be participating in this year’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race but would like to take part next year, your entry may be deferred.

Before completing the deferral process, please note: The deadline to request a deferment is July 2, at 11:59 p.m.

• As race fees are used for registration expenses, they are not refundable or transferable. You will need to pay fees when registering for the 2022 event.

Deferral step-by-step Instructions can be viewed here.

2 RACE NUMBERS

TIMING Participants in the in-person 2021 Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race will be timed using the ChronoTrack B-Tag timing system. The lightweight timing tags are attached to the back of your race number and should not be removed. Do not bend or fold your race number, as the timing device may become inactive. The B-tag records each participant’s time as they cross the start line, and their net finish time is calculated when the participant crosses the finish line. To be included in official results, you must cross over the start, 5K and finish line timing mats. Those who do not register all three of these times will be disqualified and excluded from official results. Do not wear layers, such as a fuel belt, over your bib and do not wear your bib on your back, as this can cause your timing tag to not be read. Wearing your bib improperly could result in improper scoring and possible disqualification.

EXPO RACE NUMBER PICKUP All participants picking up their race number at the Peachtree Health & Fitness Expo presented by Publix will be required to present the following items: • An ID (Photo/Copy/Original) - Drivers license, passport, government/school-issued ID, employee badge • Race Confirmation - Your race confirmation will be emailed to you on or before June 24th. • (Optional) - Vaccine Verification (Photo/Copy/Original) - race participants who have been fully vaccinated can skip the COVID-19 screening procedures by presenting their vaccination verification at the expo

If you are unable to make it to the Expo, someone may pick up your number for you. They will need to show the items listed above. Race numbers will not be available for pick up on race morning for participants who did not purchase race day number pickup during the registration process.

Participants who are able to provide proof of full vaccination while picking up their race number will receive special start wave access on race day and avoid all COVID-19 screening lines.

All start wave assign- ments are final. Your start wave is designated by the letter listed on your race number, except for the seeded wave which just has a number. If you’d like to run with someone assigned to a different start wave, you may do so by running together in the later wave. For example, if your number is in Wave A and your friend or family member is in Wave L, you may run together in Wave L. Click here for additional information on start wave placement.

Don’t forget to fill out the emergency contact information on the back of your race number.

18 SAFETY & SECURITY

Safety is Atlanta Track Club’s top priority. With the help of the City of Atlanta and other local, regional and national agencies, we have done extensive planning to ensure the safety of our participants, spectators, volunteers and partners. We would like everyone to be aware of some of the actions we are taking and call out some simple things participants, volunteers and spectators can do to help make the 52nd Running of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race a great, safe event.

There will be a substantial law enforcement presence at the start, along the course, at the finish line and in the post event area. Several restricted areas are located at the start around Lenox Square and at the finish line in Piedmont Park – please plan accordingly by allowing yourself ample time to travel to the start line. Also familiarize yourself with the prohibited items list as persons with any of these items will not be admitted into a start corral.

Designated exit points will be in place around the Piedmont Park finish area. No spectators are allowed in Piedmont Park. We ask that you leave bags and other extra items at home to expedite movement throughout the day.

Remember: See something, say something. Be vigilant. If you see something suspicious, contact the nearest police officer or call 911 .

EVENT ALERT SYSTEM (EAS) Event Alert System signs will be located at the start line, along the course at the hydration stations and in the finish area. The signs will communicate the specific alert level, which could range from low (green) to moderate (yellow) to high (red) to cancelled (black), and are based primarily on weather conditions.

19 SUSTAINABILITY

Atlanta Track Club has committed to implementing green initiatives that reduce waste, promote sustainable and responsible consumption and support the local community of Atlanta. At the 50th Running of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race, the Club recycled more than one ton of plastic water bottles through the Green Initiative. This year at the 52nd Run- ning of the Peachtree, we are committed to continuing our sustainability work.

Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, we have to transition from plastic cups filled with water on the course to relying solely on Dasani plastic water bottles- that means close to 150,000 bottles.

With your help we know we can recycle this plastic and make sure the Peachtree isn’t just red, white and blue, but also green!

HOW YOU CAN HELP • Peachtree Health & Fitness Expo presented by Publix: The Georgia World Congress Center, home of the Expo, is the largest LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified convention center in the U.S. We are working with them to recycle Expo waste and receive specific data of waste diverted from the landfill. • Carpool: Participants are encouraged to carpool or use a rideshare company to get to and from the Peachtree Health & Fitness Expo. • Public Transportation: Atlanta Track Club is proud to partner with MARTA in order to accommodate participants for the Expo and on race day. Reference the MARTA section for detailed info. • Know Before You Throw: The Dasani plastic water bottles in the start area and along the course are recyclable. A variety of Coca-Cola products can be found at the finish line. Empty your can or bottle of all liquid before tossing it in the recycling receptacles.
