2015 Peachtree Junior Sponsored by Atlanta Track Club
The 29th Peachtree Junior will be held on May 16 at 8:30 a.m. in Piedmont Park. Some of the world's top track and field athletes will be among those cheering on participants of the 2015 Peachtree Junior. After crossing the finish line, young runners will be able to sample other track and field disciplines under the hands-on guidance of these same local Olympic medalists.

Among the Olympic athletes expected at Peachtree Junior, a family-friendly event that allows kids to experience the fun of the AJC Peachtree Road Race, are:
  • Dwight Phillips, the 2004 Olympic gold medalist and four-time World Champion in the long jump. Phillips is a life-long resident of the Atlanta area.
  • Terrence Trammell, a two-time Olympic silver medalist and two-time World Indoor Champion in the 110-meter hurdles. Trammell, an Atlanta native, still lives and trains here.

Participants can also take part in the Peachtree Junior Challenge, which awards scholarships to the top four schools or youth running organizations that sign up the most kids for the race. For more information, visit atlantatrackclub.org.
