Race participant

Ann Blaum has

a unique perspective on this year's Peachtree City Classic. As a graphic

designer by trade, she has helped design the last several logos for the

annual race that takes place in October along with cart paths of the city.

Ann graduated

in 1983 with a degree in graphic design from the University of Georgia.

She put her talents to work in the corporate world for the next several

years working for design firms and agencies. In 1990 she decided to go

into business for herself and began to work out of her home.

She has run

the Classic several times and the years when she hasn't, she could be

found working as a course marshal or at the finish line. She is also a

triathlete, having competed in several throughout the Southeast such as

the Half Ironman in Panama City a few years ago.

Ann and her

husband, Paul Blaum, are the proud parents of Donna, 4, and Jack, 2. Ann

has her hands full at a mother, business owner and athlete. Yet she donates

her tims and talent to the Peachtree City Running Club by helping design

the race logo each year and volunteering to work during the race.

The colorful

logo is found on the race application, posters and the ever-popular sweatshirt

that each finisher receives. Every year the sweatshirts are considered

a prized souvenir for those who have completed the 5K or 15K course.

Applications

for this year's races are available at various locations, including all

libraries in Peachtree City, Newnan, Fayetteville, Brooks, Tyrone and

Senoia, as well as the Peachtree City Recreation Department and most sponsors'

locations. Online registration is available at www.ptcrc.com.

For further
