2026 Peachtree Road Race
The Parkinson's Foundation is an official charity partner for the 2026 AJC Peachtree Road Race. By signing up to run as a Parkinson's Champion, you commit to raising funds and awareness for the Parkinson's Foundation. In return, you receive an entry (bib) to the race.
Fundraising Commitment: $1,000
The AJC Peachtree Road Race is more than a race; it’s a celebration of community, determination, and the spirit of Atlanta. For over half a century, it has brought people from all walks of life together to spend Independence Day in a one-of-a-kind running and walking tradition. The 6.2-mile course takes participants from the streets of Buckhead through Midtown, finishing in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park.
Note: Race weekend may bring high temperatures. Please consult with your doctor to make sure you have a plan to exercise safely in the heat.
