Peachtree Road Race t-shirt design "Keeping the T-shirt design a secret started out as an accident, too – there was simply no reason to take them out of the containers in which they arrived until race day, hence few eyes were laid on them before that morning. But it felt like a secret, and as curiosity and anticipation built up over the years the Club began to embrace – and intensely guard – the tradition of not revealing the design until the first Peachtree finisher crosses the line," the AJC notes on its website.
2023 Peachtree Road Race "None of the Original 110 (participants) at the 1970 Peachtree got a shirt. There wasn’t one. Race founder Tim Singleton got the idea after he ran the Boston Marathon in 1971 and saw shirts for sale. So, in Year Two, the first 250 finishers received a shirt," the AJC notes. (KEN ORTLOFF)
“There is only one Peachtree,” said Rich Kenah, race director of the Peachtree and CEO of Atlanta Track Club. “And there is only one shirt. Nothing matches what this race means to the city of Atlanta, and I look forward to seeing which of these great designs gets runners and walkers most excited for the Fourth of July.”
The T-shirt contest has been a Peachtree tradition since 1995. The contest allows people to submit a design to be featured on the official race t-shirt. Judges pick the finalists and the public picks the winner from the finalists.
The winning design will join some of these from the past.
