The Peachtree City Classic 5K/15K

Join us October 17, 2026!

The 2026 Peachtree City Classic is officially live and now accepting registrations for both our 5K and Open 15K events! Both courses are USATF-certified, with the Open 5K serving as a Peachtree Road Race Qualifier and the Open 15K proudly designated as an RRCA State Championship Event.

This year marks our 46th anniversary. Since its inception in 1981, the Peachtree City Classic has been a beloved tradition and cornerstone event in Peachtree City, Georgia, bringing runners together for decades of competition, community, and celebration.

Our courses truly showcase the best of Peachtree City. Runners will enjoy miles of scenic, paved golf cart paths that wind past lakes, through charming tunnels, over bridges, and alongside the city’s beautiful greenbelt areas. It’s no surprise Georgia Athlete Magazine named it the Best Course. With nearly 80% of participants returning year after year, the Peachtree City Classic delivers an unforgettable race experience you won’t want to miss.
