Atlanta Track Club 5K/10K in Peachtree City Tomorrow!

By Nancy Price, Executive Director Peachtree City CVB

Rain or Shine! The Atlanta Track Club comes bright and early to Peachtree City tomorrow for the second running event in its 2015 Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Series. Hosted with the Peachtree City Running Club, the Peachtree City 5K & 10K will showcase the wonderful paths that meander through Peachtree City. The moderately hilly course winds through wooded areas and neighborhoods, over bridges, and through tunnels.

5K & 10K in PTC this Sat.

Whether you are coming to run or watch family and friends, we welcome you to spend the day in our beautiful town. The rain promises to let up, and the sun should be peaking out behind the clouds by noon. Rent a golf cart and travel around the paths at a leisurely pace. Eat at one of our many diverse restaurants. Shop at our village centers or The Avenue. Spend the night! We have a number of hotels and conference centers with rooms to fit any budget.

The running event begins at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, which is right next door to the Peachtree City Visitor’s Center. Stop by and we will help you plan your day. Take our virtual golf cart tour to learn more about our town. If there are seats left, you might be able to join our Southern Hollywood Film Tour, which leaves at 2pm!

June's 1st Weekend Offers Events for PTC Visitors

By Nancy Price, Executive Director Peachtree City CVB

The first full weekend in June delivers lots of reasons for visiting Peachtree City! 

Friday Night, June 6 — The up and coming new group Beyond 5 is in concert at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater. When I first heard Beyond 5 perform at a music conference in Nashville, I knew we had to bring them to Peachtree City. They are extremely talented and could possibly reach “one Direction” popularity. This family night concert includes performances by local singer songwriter Paige McCauley and the McIntosh High School Chorus. Gates open at 6:30pm. You can purchase tickets at the box office at 770-631-0630. 

Beyond 5 performs at The Fred June 6

Saturday Morning, June 7 — The Peachtree City Running Club and Tri-PTC will host a marathon relay competition at Drake Field. Teams of four runners will combine to run the marathon. Each participant runs a 10k. Even if you're not running, come out to join the fun cheering on the runners. The race begins at 7am. Go to the Peachtree City Running Club’s website for more information. 

Saturday Night, June 7 — B98.5FM’s “B" at the Movies program presents “Frozen” on a big screen under the stars at Drake Field between Lake Peachtree and the Peachtree City Library. Movie goers can bring picnic baskets, coolers, lawn chairs, and blankets. Concessions also are available until halfway through the movie. The movie is free and begins at dusk.

Saturday Night, June 7 — Night Fever, the world’s number one production of the early 70s and disco era music of the Bee Gees, performs at The Fred. The Bee Gees span over 50 years of hit songs and have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Night Fever plays it all and sounds note for note like the Bee Gees —How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, More Than a Woman, Jive Talking, How Deep is Your Love, You Should Be Dancing, Stayin’ Alive, and more! Gates open at 6:30pm. You can purchase tickets at the box office at 770-631-0630.
