The Guy in the photo (the one with specks) is my brother and the photo was taken in the Atlanta Journal - Constitution (AJC) Peach Tree Road Race which was held on this July 4 th,2008.He took part in the race with the other 55,000 people of the race.This is second race followed by his marathon and he finished the 10 km race in 83 minutes.Congratz Bro !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now lets get down to this Peach Tree Road Race and learn a little more about it,as its one of the longest road race.On July 4, 1970 in Atlanta, a group of just over 100 runners made history, just by running down the street. What began that day as a simple fun run has grown over the past forty years into one of the city’s signature events and favorite Fourth of July traditions
The Peachtree Road Race is a 6.2 mile (10,000 meter) road race. The race starts on Peachtree Road at Lenox Square Mall (just south of Lenox Road). The race continues down Peachtree Road. Mile 4 (near Piedmont Hospital) is mostly uphill and has received the nickname "Heart Break Hill". After mile 5, the race turns east onto 10th Street with the finish line next to Piedmont Park.As of 2008, the race course has changed. The race now terminates on Juniper St just south of 10th St. Racers finish by going uphill instead of the older downhill stretch of 10th St.
Here are some photos of this year's road race .....
