The Atlanta Track Club, organizer of the AJC Peachtree Road Race which takes place each year on the Fourth of July, announced that registration for the 2012 event will open on Thursday, March 15 through an online lottery at ajc.com/peachtree.

The Atlanta Track Club first introduced the registration lottery for Peachtree in 2011 as a way to establish a fair registration process for all entrants.

Regardless of the day or time one enters, all individuals and groups who enter the lottery will have an equal chance of being selected for the 2012 AJC Peachtree Road Race.  Entrants will be randomly selected after the lottery closes on March 22.  All lottery entrants will receive an email by Monday, March 26, 2012 informing them of whether or not they were selected for the 2012 event.  Searchable results of the selection process will also be posted on peachtreeroadrace.org and ajc.com/peachtree on March 26. 

 
“The AJC Peachtree Road Race is a Fourth of July tradition, and for so many members of the Atlanta community, the Peachtree serves as an achievable fitness goal,” said Tracey Russell, executive director of the Atlanta Track Club and race director of the AJC Peachtree Road Race.  “The Atlanta Track Club is committed to helping Atlantans stay fit and healthy, and with the opening of the registration lottery in March, we are looking forward to another exciting event in 2012.”
