Atlanta, GA --Peachtree Road Race
PRUMC Boot Camp had a great showing at the Peachtree Road Race, one of the most prestigious races in the World. Several runners had top seeded or subseeded numbers, allowing them to start at the front. With a new finish line and a hot, humid morning, it made for a challenging run, but a great time was had by all! PRUMC Boot Camp is gearing up for the fall with several races on the calendar. Weekend races are just another way to get in shape and feel great about what you're doing!
