Atlanta roads closed for AJC Peachtree Road Race roster

ATLANTA — The 55th annual AJC Peachtree Road Race will take place Thursday morning in Atlanta, one of the city’s favorite traditions.

More than 50,000 runners take to the streets for the world’s largest 10K race – and, of course, that means the streets have to be closed to car traffic.
