In a close battle for the overall championship, Ezra Hurwitz edged the Atlanta Track Club’s Eileen Torres in the 7th annual Peachtree City 50K. This year’s event featured yet another beautiful day for running: a start in the high 30’s and a finish in the low 50’s. Many of the competitors were running their very first ultra, and judging by the looks on their faces as they crossed the finish line at Luther Glass Park, they will be running many more in the future. The course, the runners, the support crews and the volunteers were once again top notch and made for a memorable Sunday for everyone involved.
