The First Annual PEACHTREE CITY 50K Runners from five southeastern states turned out for the First Annual Peachtree City 50K Fun Run on Sunday, November 10. The event was hosted by the DARKSIDE Running Club, and was held in 'honor' of member Paula May celebrating her 50th birthday. The course featured six 4.7 mile loops and a short 'out and back' along the scenic and shaded golf cart paths of Peachtree City. The event provided a few extras as well, such as two guided (running) tours (one at 7:00 a.m., the other at 3:00 p.m.) of the course the day before the event. During the race runners had at their disposal two mobile aid stations (golf carts!), splits and aid at the start/finish line, and special indicators on the backs of all participants who knew the course (as well as a lead golf cart for the first lap). The Huddleston Elementary School gymnasium served as race headquarters (registration, bag drop, refreshments, awards, results-which were posted for each runner by the time they entered the gym after they finished). The post-race refreshments included pizza from Partners, a local favorite. The final touch was a special 'black icing' (Darkside color) birthday cake for Paula, featuring the message 'Happy 50K Paula.' The awards were unique: a scale model golf cart mounted on a wood base with an engraved plate detailing each runner's accomplishment. The individual award winners were: Male Open - Robert Youngren Female Open - Kelly Murzynsky Male Masters - Fred Johnson Female Masters - Valerie Reynolds The runners, the volunteers, the course, the scenery, the amenities-all should serve to make the Peachtree City 50K an ultra favorite in the southeast for many years to come! Mark it on your calendars-7:30 a.m. on the second Sunday in November in beautiful Peachtree City, Georgia. We'll see you in 2003!
