“This is a historic year for the Peachtree Road Race, the largest 10K in the world, and as a major landmark along the route, Colony Square is going all out to celebrate,” said Sara Carville, marketing manager at Colony Square. “Our property marks the final turn in the race as people make their ultimate dash toward Piedmont Park. We can’t wait to cheer them on.”
