The lightweight timing tag stays attached to the back of the race number and should not be removed. Do not bend or fold your race number as the timing device may become inactive. The B-tag records each participant’s time as they cross the start line and their net finish time is calculated when the participant crosses the finish line. To be included in official results you must cross over the start mat to activate the timing tag and the finish line mat. Those that do not show a start and finish time will be disqualified and excluded from official results. Do not wear layers such as a fuel belt over your bib and do not wear your bib on your back, as this can cause your timing tags to not pick up a read. Unofficial results from the 2016 AJC Peachtree Road Race will be posted online at AJC.com/peachtree or peachtreeroadrace.org under Participant Information by the end of day on July 4th. Results are made official 30 days after the event at which time age group awards will be mailed. If you have results issues, please complete the results form here. EVENT PHOTOS MarathonFoto has you covered on race day and will be capturing photo’s to record your accomplishments. Photos will be available shortly after the event at marathonfoto.com. Registered participants will also receive an email alerting them of the availability of race photos. Overhead photographers will be located on 10th Street, approximately 300 yards before the finish line. Look up and smile, as you keep moving towards the finish line ahead! This is not the finish line but rather a great place to catch the excitement as runners near the finish. 6 EVENTDAY PEACHTREE CUP Each year, the AJC Peachtree Road Race draws some of the best known elite runners from around the world to compete in Atlanta. The 2016 Peachtree Cup title will be awarded to the first man and woman to cross the finish line. Each of the winners will receive $7,500. Additionally, they will be honored as the second annual Peachtree Cup champions, and their names will be added to the sterling silver trophy. KILOMETER KIDS CHARITY CHASE In partnership with United Military Care, this year’s Kilometer Kids Charity Chase will feature five teams: • Team Air Force • Team Army • Team Coast Guard • Team Marine Corps • Team Navy Each team will consist of six runners, three men and three women, representing all of the military children from their branch. The teams will compete for bragging rights in two areas: The fastest military branch and the team that receives the most donations for Atlanta Track Club’s Kilometer Kids youth running program through an online fundraiser. The online fundraiser will allow supporters to select a military team at the time of donation. All proceeds will go towards expanding the reach and accessibility of the Kilometer Kids program in metro Atlanta as part of a continued effort to encourage young people to achieve health and fitness through running. A portion of the funds raised through the 2015 Kilometer Kids Charity Chase were used to establish a Kilometer Kids program at Fort Benning, the first to be established on a military base. The Fort Benning program launched last fall and has more than doubled in size for its spring season. Your donation to the Kilometer Kids Charity Chase will make a difference in the lives of children in metro Atlanta and beyond! For more information and to donate, click here. 7 GETTINGAROUND START - MARTA For residents who live along the AJC Peachtree Road Race course and for those traveling to and from Atlanta on event day, please be aware that extensive street closures will take place.

If you’d like to run with someone assigned to a different start wave, you may do so by running together in the later wave. For example, if your number is in Start Wave A and your friend or family member is in Start Wave L, you may run together in Start Wave L.
