Peachtree Road Race Lottery Registration, T-Shirt Contest Under Way

The annual midsummer tradition for the Atlanta area will be renewed soon in 2013. And runners take note: Plans already are being made for the Peachtree Road Race on July 4.

You can register for the 44th annual race now, through an online lottery. Registration closes on Friday, March 22, at 11:59 p.m.

Also, race organizers again are letting the online public select the T-shirt design. There are five choices, and you can vote via this link until April 30.

Entry into the 10k (6.2 mile) event is $35, plus applicable online processing fees.

As before, the race begins near Lenox Square in Buckhead, and ends in Piedmont Park. The wheelchair event begins at 6:45 a.m., the women's pro division at 7:17, and the men's pro division and general race begins at 7:30
