I would love to run this year’s Peachtree Road Race. I entered but was not selected in this year’s lottery. Nevertheless, I’ve still been running some early mornings and late afternoons (and hydrating accordingly!) just in case I luck up and get a race bib. Best wishes to all the runners!

My fiance and I both need to lose 10 pounds before the wedding, and running a 10K is more acceptable than giving up country fried steak.

I recently (over the last year or so) have lost 80 lbs. I’d love to celebrate this weight loss by doing the PRR! This would also be a great way to celebrate the 4th with my family who are already running!

I lost 40 pounds over this past year and would love to participate in the Peachtree Road Race. I participated many years ago (with the 40 pounds) and enjoyed every minute.

It sure would be neat, to run down Peachtree street.
It requires a number,otherwise it is a bummer.
So here is my plea,to win a # for the Peachtree.

I have been running for about a year and never thought I would enjoy it but I have fallen in love with the runner’s high! I ran the Peachtree last year for the first time but did not get the lottery number this year. I would love the chance to try for a better time this year! Thanks!

Lauren, what a cool blog and idea! I would love to win the number to run in the Peachtree. I’m an Atlanta native, but that’s one thing that has eluded me on my “bucket list”, so to speak. However, as I’m now in my 40s, my days of serious athletic accomplishments are starting to fade… I hope that just once I will be able to experience what it’s like to be in the PRR, and I’d love to take my wife along with me. Please choose my name — I can’t think of a more fun “Atlanta thing” than to say you’ve been a part of the Peachtree!
(Oh, and my wife’s birthday is that week — how cool would it be to surprise her with an entry into a fun activity that we can do together!)

I have a buddy that I just started helping get into running shape. He started running after his close friend had a stroke at age 37 and it was a real wake up call. He as been kicking around the idea of running a race this summer and I think getting these entries into the road race would be great motivation to keep him running.

No tradition in Atlanta is better than running the Peachtree Road Race on the 4th of July!!
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to participant in that tradition!!

Would love the challenge. Just moved to Atlanta and haven’t ran since college. I would have to train and today would be the perfect day to find out. Gives me a month to put in the work and be ready to run for the AJC!
But I see some very convincing and probably more deserving comments than mind… I understand. I would pick someone who has the commitment and is commenting more selflessly than I am.
