Hundreds of racers, young and old alike, came dressed in their best holiday gear as they participated in the Peachtree Corners Christmas 10k at Simpsonwood United Methodist Church on Saturday, Dec. 17, 2011.

Elf ears, reindeer antlers, Santa Claus beards and a few grinches were spotted running through the neighborhood on the brisk and windy morning.

The event was a USA Track & Field sanctioned race and a qualifier for the 2012 Peaachtree Road Race later next year.

The race was organized by the Georgia Cup, a Peachtree Corners-based company. If you missed this one, there's another coming up on Jan. 1, 2012, the Resolution 10k.

It's a great way to start out the new year. The 10K and 5K race will be held in Peachtree Corners Technology Park. Look for more information coming up on the 2012 Resolution 10K, or visit the company's website for details and registration.
