Monthly Meetings
The Peachtree City Running Club holds its monthly meetings on the first Monday of every month with the exception of July and December. Meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. and are usually held at the Peachtree City Hotel and Conference Center (formerly known as the Wyndham Conference Center) usually in the amphitheater. Actual meeting place is usually announced via e-mail and posted on our web site.
PTC Classic
The Peachtree City Classic consists of three different races: Women’s 5K, Men’s 5K and 15K Open. All races are on certified courses. The course was voted the Best Course by Georgia Athlete Magazine. Join us on 10/20/2018 for this year’s race.

CLUB GRAND PRIX / NEW MEMBER’S BREAKFAST – SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9
If you are a new member who has joined the club within the last year, we are having a new member breakfast especially for YOU. Club members Ray and Teri Besch have graciously agreed to host the event at their home at 105 Parsons Place in Peachtree City. A link to the map is below. You can also call them at 770-487-9215 if you need directions.
You don’t need to bring anything except a healthy appetite. Club members will provide all the fixin’s. We’ll begin with a Grand Prix Run at 8 AM. It will be a run/walk for time event.
We’ll then enjoy breakfast provided by club members. And you don’t even have to run if you don’t want to. You can just show up and have breakfast!! If you are not yet a member, but have been considering it, this is your chance to check us out up close and personal.
Either way, we hope you’ll join us. It’s a great way to get to know people in the club, trade training tips, and just have a good time. We hope to see you there!!
