How is Virginia-Highland Represented in the 2012 Peachtree Road Race?

A new map released by the AJC shows the top participating zips in Metro Atlanta, including Virginia-Highland.

There's a little more than a week before the July 4 , the biggest 10K in the world.

This begs the question: Just how many Virginia-Highland residents will be participating among the estimated 60,000 runners in this year's big race?

The Atlanta Journal Constitution, sponsor of the Peachtree Road Race, recently released a map showing the top participating zip codes in the metro-Atlana area.

According to the map, the main Virginia-Highland zip code, 30306, accounts for 1.73 percent of this year's participants.

So which zipcode has the most participants? That award belongs to 30319 with 2.15 percent. This zip is mostly unincorporated DeKalb county, but a small part of 30319 is in Fulton.
