About the Pound the Pavement for Peter - Family Fun Run

The course winds through the Brookhaven neighborhood on road, making it a street run rather than a trail or track experience. The race exists to raise awareness and funds for children living with disabilities and serious medical conditions, and that purpose is visible in the atmosphere. It is named for a specific child, and the people who show up tend to know that story.

Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at Capital City Club in Brookhaven, with race-morning pickup available as well for those who cannot make the earlier window.

Is the Pound the Pavement for Peter - Family Fun Run a good first 5K?

A field of 345 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Pound the Pavement for Peter - Family Fun Run?

The 5K winner ran 16:45 while the median finisher took 34:34. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the Pound the Pavement for Peter - Family Fun Run?
