Shepherd Center's Wheelchair Division of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race Wheelchair Division

Every July 4, Shepherd Center sponsors the Wheelchair Division of the AJC Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, where world-class athletes compete in this annual 10K event. The Wheelchair Division follows the course set for the AJC Peachtree Road Race foot racers — 6.2 miles down Peachtree Road, starting at Lenox Road and ending on 10th Street at Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta.

This year, the AJC Peachtree Road Race will award up to $5,000 in bonus prize money to foot racers and wheelchair athletes who break an event record at the July 4th race.

The bonus prizes at this year’s race for both foot and wheelchair racers further demonstrate the commitment of Shepherd Center and the Atlanta Track Club to promoting equality among elite runners and wheelchair athletes.
