On July 4, 1970, 150 runners gathered at the old Sears parking lot on the corner of Peachtree and Roswell Road. Of those runners, 110 finished. The group, now known as the “Original 110,” ran 6.2 miles through Atlanta to Central City Park in what would go down in history as the inaugural Peachtree Road Race.

In 2013, Brent and Kyle Pease wheeled together for the first time in the AJC Peachtree Road Race, representing The Kyle Pease Foundation. As the Foundation continued its efforts to break barriers to inclusion in sports, it also helped grow the Push-Assist Division of the Peachtree Road Race - expanding to nine teams by 2018.

Fast forward to today. In 2025, we had 8 Competitive teams and 12 Open Division teams - a total of 48 participants across both divisions. And in 2026, we’re building an even bigger and more inclusive team.

This year, with the continued support of KPF Presenting Sponsor lululemon, The Kyle Pease Foundation will once again bring a powerful team to the start line — with athletes and teammates competing in the Competitive Division and participating in the Open Division. This is inclusion at its finest: athletes of all abilities coming together to compete in one of Atlanta’s most iconic races and celebrating inclusion one mile at a time.

Together, we are representing and celebrating inclusion through sports.

We’re asking our community, partners, and supporters to rally their friends, families, and networks to support this work. By becoming a fundraiser for The Kyle Pease Foundation, you help create opportunities for athletes with disabilities to train, race, and experience the joy of crossing finish lines all year long.

Starting a fundraiser is easy - and it’s fun. We’ll provide the tools, tips, and support you need to make an impact. With your help, we can ensure that every athlete who wants to participate has the equipment, support, and community to get to the start line and the finish line.

Join us for Peachtree 2026.
Celebrate inclusion.
Help us change lives - one mile at a time.
