Lace Up, Local Runners

There’s something special about a local race.

It’s not just the start line or the finish chute — it’s the familiar faces, the shared energy, the quiet understanding that everyone out there is chasing something a little different… yet doing it together. It’s the early mornings, the community spirit, and the feeling that, for a few miles, your neighborhood becomes something bigger.

At Big Peach Running Co., we have always believed that local races are the heartbeat of the running community. Said differently, they’re where movement meets meaning — where goals take shape, friendships are formed, and stories begin.

That’s exactly why we’re so excited to introduce our Local Runners, Local Races promotion.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best in a 5K, building toward your first Half Marathon, or simply looking for a reason to stay consistent this season, there are two incredible ways to get involved… and yes, to score some great gear along the way.

Want to race for free? It’s simple.

When you purchase a pair of shoes from a participating brand at Big Peach, you’ll earn a FREE entry into a specific local race. It’s our way of saying thank you — and of helping you take that next step (or stride) toward your goals.

Here’s the lineup:

• Move For Grady 10K/5K: Free entry with Altra purchase

• Pinwheel Pursuit 13.1/5K: Free entry with Saucony purchase

• Big Peach Sizzler 10K/5K: Free entry with Nike purchase

• Kaiser Permanente Run/Walk/Roll 5K: Free entry with New Balance purchase

• The RACE (13.1/5K): Free entry with Brooks purchase

• Silver Comet Marathon/Half Marathon: Free entry with On purchase

Entries are limited. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that these races fill up quickly. If one of these events is calling your name, now is the time to answer.

Your shoe rotation is already full? No problem. Here’s another reason to jump on the local races roster:

If you participate in any three of the local races featured in our series — from the Suwanee Running Series to the Santa Shuffle — you’ll be eligible for an exclusive prize to commemorate your season.

Think of it as a reward not just for racing, but for committing to the journey. For the training runs, the early alarms, the moments where you chose to keep going.

There’s no better time than now to get involved.

Stop by any Big Peach Running Co. location, get fitted for your next pair of shoes, and take advantage of this opportunity to turn your miles into something even more meaningful. Our team is here to help you find the right gear, the right race, and the right path forward. All at your pace.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about racing. It’s about being part of something together.

We’ll see you at the start line.
