Title of design: The Simple Peach
About the design: I wanted to create a T-shirt for the AJC Peachtree Road Race that embodies Atlanta's timeless elegance. My shirt design reflects Atlanta's classic charm, and captures the essence of the annual road race… it's simple, classy, but also fun!

Title of design: Starts and Stripes
About the design: To me, a hugely underrated part of the AJC Peachtree Road Race is the overwhelming buzz and excitement at the starting line! There's a giant American flag hanging overhead, music is playing, the wave corrals are packed with patriotic runners, and everyone is ready to have fun. One of my favorite things I've learned from running is this: it's not the finish line that matters most. It's the starting line. Showing up and being willing to begin is what makes all the difference.

Title of design: Peach Up, A-Town Down
About the design: I love that the race gives the city a really simple way to come together: beyond any differences, we bond through a shared determination and effort. The design is meant to honor the event's cultural importance, one that has promoted health, community, and celebration for decades. It's "peace up, A-Town down," even while crossing a finish line.

Title of design: Sky Fives
About the design: The AJC Peachtree Road Race is a historic landmark event for all of Atlanta, and equally one for my family. It is a tradition that promotes community, health, and fellowship that we look forward to every July 4th. For my design, Sky Fives, I wanted to provide artwork that embodied the race's mission of inclusivity while staying true to Atlanta the city and the event's long-standing roots. To me, the design would not be complete without the recognizable Atlanta skyline and large peach in the sky, runner representation, a nod to the nation's busiest airport, and acknowledgement to the milestone 55th running of this momentous event.
