Also, introducing VIRTUAL RACE options - see below.

Join us for the second annual Rotary Club of Peachtree City Half Marathon & 5k, presented by BMW of South Atlanta , on January 18, 2025. The tree lined golf cart paths of our planned community are an ideal setting for runners of all levels and abilities. Greenspace, lakes, and wildlife mark this family friendly, fitness oasis, just a short drive south of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. 

Your participation will help the Rotary Club of Peachtree City continue our history of serving the community. For nearly two decades our Rotary Club, with the support of Peachtree City Running Club has hosted the Rotary Grand Prix 5k Series , helping 17 local elementary schools raise more than $1millon, while working to reduce childhood obesity through fitness. And this is just one of the many ways we model “Service Above Self” by giving and serving in our local and global community each year. Click here to learn more about Rotary International.
