For One Week, Everyone Will Be Admitted for $45 Before Return of Lottery in 2025
ATLANTA - July 5, 2024 - Even as people were still running,
walking, dancing and cheering in Atlanta's 2024 Party of the Summer,
registration opened for the 56th Running of the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race on Friday, July 4, 2025.
For one week - July 4 to July 11 - everyone who wishes to
participate in next year's Peachtree will be admitted at the Atlanta Track Club
members' price of $45, the lowest that will be made available. The offer, and
early registration itself, ends on July 11 at 11:59 p.m. Early registrants will
also receive a free one-year digital subscription to the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution.
"We thought it would be fun to get a head start on 2025
while memories of Atlanta's best day of the year are still fresh," said Rich
Kenah, CEO of Atlanta Track Club and race director of the Peachtree. "And this
early registration period gives everyone who's still feeling the energy of the
event - participants, friends, family, spectators, viewers of the race's
livestream - the chance to guarantee their spot in next year's race without
having to rely on getting in via the lottery."
Yes, the traditional lottery will return in 2025. At a
still-to-be-determined date in the spring, registration will re-open and
non-members wanting to participate will take their chances via the same lottery
system used for many years before the COVID-19 pandemic. With demand
increasing, non-members will register to enter a random lottery with no
guarantee of participation if the race reaches its 2025 capacity of 55,000
before the lottery period closes.
Those with 2025 Atlanta Track Club memberships will still
be guaranteed entry into the race at that time. Register for the 2025 event here.
