About the Club

Founded by a group of runners in 1981, the Peachtree City Running Club has become one of the largest and most active clubs in the Southeast. The club was formed to promote and stimulate an interest in the sport of running; to encourage physical exercise, sportsmanship and friendship; to encourage individual members to strive for proficiency, conditioning and safety.

We are an active club and club members get together to run almost every day of the week. We have weekly fun runs on Saturday mornings, monthly Grand Prix events, a Summer Track Series, a robust awards program, and our fall PTC Classic 15K / 5K race. We hope you'll join us for a run and consider becoming a member.
