Piedmont Park is home to many of Atlanta’s largest events, including Atlanta’s summer tradition – The AJC Peachtree Road Race. Piedmont Park Conservancy is partnering with the Atlanta Track Club this year as an official charity and you can do your part by supporting us in this partnership.

Go to our official AJC Peachtree Road Race charity web site to make a donation and your dollars can help us raise money to support Atlanta’s largest green space. You can even become a part of the team and get your friends involved.

As an added bonus, your donation can go even further with our dollar for dollar matching grant from the Kendeda Fund. That means every dollar you donate is worth twice as much. Get more information and make your donation today.
