The world's largest and most-famous 10k, the Peachtree Road Race was set for the 51st running on Saturday, July 4, 2020. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, for the first time in race history, it will be moved to Thanksgiving Day. With that said, we felt it appropriate to bring back our yearly Peachtree Road Race story as it hits close to home for Panther fans.
Georgia State's roots are as deep and wide as any organization in the city to the Peachtree's founding in 1970. Check out how serious and inclusive that event was to Georgia State faculty, staff and students in that first race and that first decade.
