ATLANTA — Voting is now open for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s annual contest to choose the design for the Peachtree Road Race T-Shirt.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says each year more than 50,000 people join the Peachtree Road Race on the Fourth of July.
Thousands of people will flock to Lenox Square and run through the streets of Atlanta all the way to 10th Street and Piedmont Park.

The 10-kilometer race is scheduled for Tuesday, July 4. Runners and walkers can either join in person or run the race virtually.
The main event of the race, though, is the coveted T-shirt. A panel of judges from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Track Club, and the Atlanta running and walking community have narrowed hundreds of submissions down to the final five.
The community can vote every day through March 31 for their favorite design. The winner will be kept a secret until the first person crosses the finish line and receives their T-shirt.

Registration for the race opens on March 8 for Atlanta Track Club members and March 15 for everyone else.
