“The T-shirt design contest is part of what makes the Peachtree such a special event,” said Rich Kenah, race director and CEO of Atlanta Track Club. “The race is truly for everyone and nothing tells that story more than a finisher’s shirt designed by a local artist and chosen by the runners and walkers.”

A panel of judges from the Atlanta Track Club, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the Atlanta running and walking community will narrow down the hundreds of expected submissions to five.
