6:30 AM 2009 Peachtree Road Race

This is a SEGA tradition. Bring your hounds and help cheer on the runners. It is quite the event, 1/2 road race & 1/2 parade like spectacle, but all fun. Our Greyhounds attract a lot of attention every year. Runners actually look for them & cheer right back!

Be sure to bring plenty of water for you and the hounds and something soft and padded for them to lay on. Wear red, white, and blue, and dress up your hounds too!

Directions:

If you live on the east side of town, it is best to go around I285 to I75 and exit at West Paces Ferry Road. Take West Paces Ferry Road and head east. Continue along WPF and turn right onto Chatham Road (if you miss it, make your turn at the next intersection, St. Andrews Road. Follow until you see the Cathedral and parking on your left.

If coming from the west side of town, take I285 to the Atlanta Road exit. Take a left onto Bolton Road and your first left onto Moores Mill Road. Take West Wesley on your right and follow it all the way to Peachtree Road, park along W. Wesley. As you walk up to P’tree Road, St. Phillips will be on your left.

If you prefer to Mapquest it, the address is 2744 Peachtree Road, 30305.
