This year's

race directors, Ann Shoemaker and Jan Stewart, are looking forward to

introducing the use of computerized timing chips.

The Classic

actually consists of three different races: a women's 5K, a men's 5K,

and the 15K open. All races are run on separate TAC-certified courses,

and start and finish at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater. The 5K races

for men and women are open to the first 800 entrants in each category.

The popular 15K is open to the first 1,500 entrants. Everyone is urged

to get applications in as soon as possible as it usually closes out early.

All finishers

in the different races will receive a Classic sweatshirt. There will be

random drawings for assorted prizes, but participants must be present

to win. RRCA Awards will be presented to top three male and female finishers

overall and in the master's category, and also to the top three male and

female finishers in each of 14 age groups. USATF Championship medals will

be awarded to the top five Open Male and Open Female runners. You must

be a USATF member to be eligible for the USATF awards.

The race weekend

starts with an EXPO on Friday, Oct 11, at the Wyndham Peachtree Executive

Conference Center. The EXPO is open to the public and many running and

fitness vendors will be on hand.

Applications

are available at various locations in Peachtree City, Newnan, and Fayetteville,

including local recreation departments, libraries, and sporting goods

stores. Applications are also available at some of the sponsors of our

race, including Chic-Fil-A, World Gym, Partners Pizza, Regions Bank, and

Publix. You can also register on line at www.ptcrc.com.
