I’ve always wanted to run in the Road Race. I think it would be an awesome experience and a great work out!

Would love to be part of it! I didn’t sign up because I was hoping to be pregnant by that time, but so far no luck!

I have a neighbor that has gotten a number for years. However, for some odd reason, this year he was left off the list. I would like to surprise him with a pair of tickets for him and his wife. If only everyone could do at least one act of kindness each day, the world would be a much happier place.

I would so love to win a number. I ran the race in 2009 and had a ball. I entered the lottery this year and I entered my husband. He won a number and I didn’t and he didn’t even want to run the race! So needless to say, I was bummed out. This will be my husband’s first year running the PRC and our anniversary week.

There’s something about this race that just makes it different. Maybe it’s the overwhelming number of people. Maybe it’s the supporters, family members, and strangers who stand on the sidewalk to cheer everyone one. Maybe it’s just because it’s the 4th. I’m not quite sure why but I absolutely love it. To me the 4th of July epitomizes what “we the people” have accomplished and continue to accomplish everyday. The 4th is a time to celebrate and there is no better way than surrounded by 60,000 friends, an screaming “born in the USA” while passing the moes. It’s a damn good time.

I would like to run the PRR for the fifth time this year. I have run since my days in the Corps and continue just to prove I can. Since I didn’t get selected in the lottery (after I submitted a PR half marathon time no less), I am still in search of number.

I have run twice in the past with my cousins and thought I wouldn’t be able to come home from grad school for the 4th this year to run it. Our schedules got changed around and they gave us vacation around the 4th so now I get to come home and would love to be able to run again this year with my cousins and keep the tradition alive!

Over the past 3 years I have began the start of a new life dedicated to a healthier lifestyle, losing 80lbs and running on a consistant basis. My long time friend has been running 5k & 10k’s for many years and has been my inspiration and my backbone in pushing me to my goal of running the P’tree this summer. We have been training for the P’tree since January and did not get chosen in the lottery and made several attempts at having numbers transferred and would love no more than to have an opportunity to participate!

Would love to have a number this year- before I had kids (8 years ago) I used to run every year. It seems like I had an easy time getting a number back then. This year when I looked into it I was not able to get one. Thanks!

The PRR is as Americana as it gets. It’s one of Atlanta’s best assets and a great way to honor our country’s freedom. I’ve run the race with my dad, a retired Army major, for the past 8 years, and this year he got turned down. He always kicks my butt crossing the finish line and it’s an ongoing joke between us and the rest of the fam, and always a good time. I’d love to be able to continue it with him this year if possible. If I don’t get this number…anyone else know of someone who is willing to sell???

I would love to run the Peachtree this year! I ran it in 07′ when I graduated high school and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Since, I have coached cross country for two years at the high school level and have continued to improve my own running.

I grew up in the Atlanta area and my Dad used to run the Peachtree Road Race every year. Since I was 15 or so he has always said that it is an experience he would like to share with me. I was not a runner until January 2011 and since then I have completed two half marathons. My Dad and I have tried to sign up for the Peachtree Road Race but since it has grown to be so big and tickets are now a lottery, we haven’t been able to get them. I know he would love this experience just as much as I would! His birthday is in July so it would also be a great surprise!!

My husband is running in the Peachtree for the first time (he already got his number) after losing 95 lbs over the past 2 years. I would love to support him by running with him (it would be my first time also) and I didn’t win a number from the lottery.

Love to run this year!!, I try to run when I turn 50 but while training I pull a muscle , so I couldn’t , but I did run last year and it was a exiting experience . I miss the signing this year and for me running is freedom because I can’t drive so I’m inside my home most of the time.

I turned 46 this year and started a new diet program that’s life changing. I’m trying to stay healthy by eating a diet of increased raw veggies and no red meat. This is completely opposite from how I grew up eating. I feel like being able to run in the Peachtree Road Race would be a perfect way to celebrate my new way of eating and living. #livinginatlanta4thirtyyears

I’ve started to get into shape, and I’ve love the oppertunity to run with my brother, who lives in texas but comes to atlanta once a year for this. It would be a great milestone in my journey.

Pick me! Pick me! Although my boyfriend and I are young, we’ve decided recently that with our familial risks for diabetes, heart disease, and inactivity that running is how we’ll stay fit. We’d LOVE to celebrate our anniversary by joining in one of Atlanta’s greatest July 4th traditions!

I have been struggling with depression for a while but went through treatments and now am much Betteer. In my pursuit of getting into medical school, I want to start anew with the peachtree road race. I want to renew myself, refresh myself. I would also like to run to raise donation money for the mission trip to India I’m going with my church. For every certain distance, I want to raise money. I really need your help!

My husband and I began doing the PRR when we turned 50 and have been participating every year since. It is a fun time for us both and we meet up with friends afterward to tell stories of the interesting people we saw along the way. He received a number but I didnot so I would love for us to continue our tradition. We are both Atlanta natives and love our city!!

My wife runs the PeachTree road race every year, and every year I watch the race on TV, it would be awesome to surprise her by meeting her at the finish wearing my PeachTree Road race finisher t-shirt.

I would like to run as I have never run in the Peachtree Road Race before. I would also like to run for Aimee Copeland. She inspired me to not take life for granted and be thankful for the things that I have. My legs will run for her and the way she has inspired me to live my life!!!!

I’ve participated for the past 2 years and I’ve encouraged my entire family to run this year…..Well, they got picked but I didn’t. I would love to run this year with all 10 of my family members.

I am a new runner. I’ve only been running about nine months. It’s always been my dream to run the Peachtree, but I’ve never been in physical shape to try it. I’ve lived in Atlanta for 20 years — I love this city! Nothing is more Atlanta than the Peachtree. Running the Peachtree would let me bring my loves together — my newfound love for running and my 20-year love affair with the city of Atlanta. Please select me.

I have lost 100 lbs in the last year and finally want to get fit the way I should be. I was hoping that participating in the PTRR would be a monumental launch to the way I want to see my life from here on out. Have been walk/running and am ready! Unfortunately, we didn’t make the lottery!
