Meet Gayle Barron. Gayle Barron’s name is synonymous with peak performance and thus an appropriate inaugural guest for the Peak Performance show. Gayle is truly one of the pioneers of American running. She was the winner of the first Peachtree 10K (Atlanta) in 1970 and went on to win five of the first six, earning her the endearing title of "The First Lady of Peachtree." The Peachtree 10K is the world’s largest 10K and Gayle is the only five time winner, male or female. She has also won three Atlanta Peach Bowl Marathons, and in 1978 had one of the thrills of her life with her win in the Boston Marathon.

All of Gayle’s many running and fitness accolades are overshadowed by her contributions back to her community since she stopped running competitively. She is one of the pioneers in developing what has become a national concept of "training as a team” that help runners to train together while also raising money for charity. Over the last fifteen years, Gayle has directly helped thousands of runners experience the thrill of completing their first marathon, half marathon or 10K. Equally important, her teams have raised millions of dollars for leading charities. Her teams have directly been responsible for building four Habitat for Humanity homes and funding leading cancer initiatives in the Atlanta area.

As a result of her many years of service to the Atlanta community, Gayle was recently chosen by Atlanta Magazine as one of the 45 "Greatest Atlantans" of the past 45 years. This is well deserved recognition to the consistency of her personal peak performance over so many years.
