Greetings!
I’ve been longing for a new running event. So, I logged onto the Atlanta Track
Club web site to check out the running event calendar. On the home page I found
exactly what I had in mind.
In
fact, two things on the site caught my attention. The Track Club’s Grand
Prix series is bringing back cross country events. They have one in
Cartersville at the end of the month. I read about that with great interest.
The problem is I am already scheduled to run in a 5K that day. It’s a
race I have considered running since 1997. I think I need to go ahead and
check it off the list.
However,
the second event, the new Triple Peach Series, completely has me intrigued.
This trifecta includes the massive 60,000 participant Fourth of July
Peacthree Road Race, a new 10 miler in October and the Atlanta Half Marathon. All
of these races move along Atlanta’s iconic Peachtree Street.
The
Atlanta half marathon is a favorite of mine. I did not run the Peachtree this
year as I had counted myself retired from that event after 20 years of
participating. Now, I see I have one more in to go. I must say I really
like the idea of running in the Triple Peach series for no reason other than
the name.
Find
events. Run.
Tom
