Let’s Run – Again! Peachtree Road Race 10k

Today started very early for us. Me and several friends signed up for the Peachtree Road Race in association with the Atlanta Track Club. This event had over 800 runners and is the largest running event to date for Camp Victory.

We had to be at the starting area from 0430-0500 to sign up and then the race began at 0530. The event managers had the person who starts the race in Atlanta start our race via cell phone and a loud speaker. At the start of the race on the first stretch of road, there was an incredibly cool breeze and we could not explain it. The temperatures are around 85-90 in the mornings and this felt like a nice spring breeze; it was a very nice way to start. The water points on the run were manned with numerous volunteers who were working hard to make sure everybody had cups of water for all the runners as they passed. As we were running, it was funny to see very large military vehicles driving by while running a road race. We maintained a good pace until the last mile where most people picked up their pace and tried to finish strong. Upon crossing the finish line, we were given a t-shirt and refreshments. We had a great turnout from our office and we really enjoyed the run.
