Club History
Founded in 1981, our club has grown to be one of the largest running clubs in the Metro Atlanta area. With over 100 miles of cart paths in Peachtree City, you are bound to run into someone you know eventually (pun intended!). We have members from all walks of life, ages and abilities.
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.
Upcoming Events
CLUB MEETING – TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
We meet at 7:00 PM at the Partner’s Pizza on Hwy 54.
CLUB GRAND PRIX – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8
Cross Country Course Run. We start at Heritage Cross Country at 8 AM. Test your off-road legs on this beautiful 5K course. Compete against others in your age group on this fun and slightly challenging course.
CLUB MEETING – MONDAY, OCTOBER 1
We meet at 7:30 PM at the Peachtree City Hotel and Conference Center. This is the “All Things Classic” meeting where we finalize any remaining race issues.
CLUB GRAND PRIX – SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27
Volunteer Classic run. This is a tradition started for all the Club members who sacrificed running in our own Peachtree City Classic so they could serve all the other participants as volunteers. Come out and run either the 5K or 15K course against others in your age group. 20 points extra if you run in a Halloween costume!
Due to Heritage Cross Country course being booked for the month of September, the PTCRC September Grand Prix will be moved to September 22 at 8 AM at the Ridge Nature Preserve in Fayetteville. Take a right off of highway 54 to the end of Burch Road when coming from Peachtree city.
The course will be from the Whitewater trail, to the Muscadine trail, to the Muscogee trail and back to the parking lot for about 3 miles. (Not the Run the Ridge 5K course, but a loop following the outer perimeter of the park).
The Southern Conservation Trust asks that we park down near the water (right hand turn, down the hill near start of Whitewater Trail) as there is another event taking place that morning up top around the main parking area.
Please make sure you leave no trace of your visit. Take advantage of the trash cans provided at each nature area.
For more information, please contact Mark Hamilton.
