Running club begins
taking registration for annual club
Plans are underway by the Peachtree
City Running Club for the 19th running of their Peachtree City Classic.
it is one of the most popular runs not only in the state of Georgia, but
in the southeast as well. In fact, this year’s 15K will serve once
again as the Road Runner’s Club of America’s National Championship.
The “Classic” actually consists of three different races; a
women’s 5K, a men’s 5K and the 15K open. All races are run on
separate TAC certified courses. This year’s “Classic” takes
place on Saturday, Oct. 14.
Race director Rich Horning is the master planner behind the scenes. He
manges a myriad of people who are inturn responsible for a multitude of
tasks and functions to ensure another successful event from start ot finish.
The 5K races for men and women are open to the first 800 entrants in each
category. The ever-popular 15K is open to the first 1,500 entrants. However,
Horning urges everyone to get their applications in as soon as possible,
as it usually closes out early.
The 15K was voted the best 15K course in Georgia by georgia Athlete Magazine.
Teh courses are run mostly on paved golf cart paths that take the runners
through the green belt areas, by lakes and ponds, through woods and small
tunnels across bridges and on scenic routes through the planned community
of Peachtree City.
Applications are available at some of the sponsor of the race: World gym,
Publix Supermarkets, regions Bank and the Wyndham Peachtree Executive
Conference Center. Runners can also register online at the running club
website, www.ptcrc.com.
