Peachtree Road Race
Race Day Weather
Warm start, high heat risk
Runners will face a starting temperature of 74°F, climbing to a sweltering 96°F. With an average humidity of 63% and a dew point of 69°F, hydration will be crucial. A light breeze from the WNW at 10 mph will offer minimal relief, so pacing should be conservative to manage the heat effectively.

Race Info
The Peachtree Road Race (branded AJC Peachtree Road Race for sponsorship reasons) is an American 10-kilometer run held annually in Atlanta. After being held on Independence Day from 1970 to 2019, the race was cancelled because of the COVID pandemic after originally being set for Thanksgiving. It is the world's largest 10k race, a title it has held since the late 1970s. The race has become a citywide tradition in which over 70,000 amateur and professional runners try to register for one of the limited 60,000 spots. The event also includes a wheelchair race (known as the Shepherd Center wheelchair division), which precedes the footrace. In recent years, the race also has a special division for soldiers stationed in the Middle East. The race attracts some of the world's elite 10K runners and has served as both the United States' men's and women's 10K championship. Wikipedia
