The Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta is rescheduling its July 4 race to Thanksgiving in 2020 because of coronavirus concerns.
“As we have come to understand clearly in these last couple of weeks, a safe Peachtree on the Fourth of July is just not in the cards as a result of the impacts of COVID-19,” Rich Kenah, executive director of race organizer Atlanta Track Club , told“Peachtree has always been about community and family coming together on a holiday,” he said. “As we looked at this, we realized that the Fourth of July is the second-most popular day for people to run. The most popular day is Thanksgiving Day.
Runners have six options for their entries now that the race has been moved to November. A statement put out by ATC said all previously registered participants will remain registered for the Thanksgiving date. Or they have the option to complete the race virtually, move their entry to 2021 at no charge, transfer to a new participant, donate their registration fee to Atlanta Track Club’s community initiatives, or receive a refund.
