How it works? Join with the same name and email you used for your Peachtree registration and we will be able to identify you as a member and reassign your wave on June 26. While your bib won't have the member information on it, the wave will be correct and you can stop by the membership booth at the Peachtree Health and Fitness Expo presented by Publix to get your new member wristband for the post-race party or pick it up outside Park Tavern on race day with ID. Please note that we are in the process of assigning waves and your wave may not be assigned yet.
You can also take advantage of the "members-only" hour at the Expo. Since your check-in pass will not have your membership on it, you can let the volunteer know that you recently joined to access the early hour.
What if my friend or family member is in a different start wave?
If you and someone you wish to participate with are assigned to different Start Waves, you can always move back to join the same wave together. However, advancing to a different wave is not allowed.
