This is among a “bucket list” of must-do races that are less than marathon distance, which I have wanted to run but never managed to (start) or complete. The others would include Lilac Bloomsday 12K in Spokane WA (garners over 50K in finishers), Boulder-Bolder 10K in (Colorado) (over 30K in finishers), Boiler Maker 15K in Utica, NY, and the likely defunct Cascade Runoff 15K in my boyhood home state at Portland Oregon. One well known race I did have the opportunity to run was the Bay to Breakers 12 KM in San Francisco. I was joined my several “Marathon Maniac” friends for the auspicious 100th anniversary event in the only year I ran, a joyous time had in the back corral avoiding slipping on the tossed “tortillas” as I crept beyond the start, sometime after the leading males had won the race drown in a sea of 100,000 bodies. I also ran my “mother” race, the Army 10 Miler in Washington DC twice (1994 and 1997). Some of my marathoning buddies would be surprised to learn I keep a copy of “National Road Race” encyclopedia on my shelf, which lists only the biggest marathons, but predominantly what were considered in the later 1990s to be the top 100 road races in North America (of all distances.) As to the Peachtree 10K, it has remained elusive, (though I do have a copy of a hard cover book “25 years of the Peach Tree Road Race, but I digress…). In 1986 I was assigned to Fort Stewart Georgia in the US Army and registered to run. (Yes, back in the era of hard copy registration and before as far as I know, a cap was instituted.) Seems I had my first major traffic accident the day before when heading to the local store as a car failed to stop in the rain and t-boned me pushing me into my neighbor preacher’s lawn, and my dreams of running Peachtree out my broken window…Best of luck, Scott!
