Headlines, Deadlines & Hot Deals!

The official “Summer Season” comes to an end with the upcoming Labor Day Weekend. Peachy and friends have lots of hot treats to help you transition from summer to fall!

Let’s HEADLINE with a classic…the U.S.10K Classic that is! In-store registration continues at all 4 BPRC locations until 8:00pm Thursday, Sept. 3. Making this deadline even more exciting is the fact that we are honoring the “early bird” registration fee if you register with us. Save time by having your racing number in hand, and save money too!
******************** ******************** ******************** ********************
Continuing with some HOT DEALS…Register at any BPRC location between now and close of business on Labor Day, and get “early bird” pricing for any or all of these fantastic, fun half marathons:

10/4 - First Ever Locomotive Half Marathon & 5K (special offer valid for ½ marathon only). Check out this brand new race on a course taking you through quiet neighborhoods in Kennesaw, with a gentle, rolling terrain.

10/31 - 9th Annual Silver Comet Half Marathon & 2 Mile Fun Run (special offer valid for ½ marathon only). Taking place (where else?) at the beautiful, flat Silver Comet Trail. This race always sells out, so be sure to take advantage of such a great offer.

11/8 - Zooma Women’s Half Marathon & 5K (special offer valid for ½ marathon only). Great way to check out Atlanta’s wonderful downtown our favorite way, on foot! Challenging but fun course, with lots to see including Piedmont Park and Turner Field!
******************** ******************** ******************** ********************
Big Peach Sizzler 10K DEADLINE approaching! Registration fee goes up from $27.00 to $32.00 on 9/16. And, while we haven’t yet hit 800 in-store just yet, registration has been robust! If you would like the Saucony Tech T, come in to any BPRC ASAP to sign up! (Nothing like back to back FLA’s - four letter acronyms to churn up excitement!) Of course there's a great looking cotton T if your number is 801 or higher, or if you register online. Also a reminder that a free entry is available with any $75.00 or more purchase of Saucony gear (registration must take place at same time as purchase), and a portion of the proceeds of this race benefit 65 Roses for Cystic Fibrosis, and Team Challenge for Chron’s and Colitis.
