When the couple finished the 6.2-mile race through the streets of Buckhead and midtown Atlanta in Piedmont Park, they posed for a group photo with some friends.
The friends all stepped aside to let Gomez and Rudolph take a picture together and then video of the proposal shows Gomez step aside and drop to one knee.
To continue the excitement from this morning, we can't help but share this PEACHTREE PROPOSAL!💍
