Course Information
Three different 10-13 mile loops all originating from the Bull Mountain parking lot. Trails consist of some technical, but mostly runnable single track, making this a tough and challenging North Georgia trail race. Waterfalls, multiple stream crossings, rocky climbs and blazing fast descents are just a few of the trail amenities. After each 10 mile loop, you will pass through the main aid station/Start/Finish. We will have 3 aid stations stocked with veggie friendly everything: soups, fruits, some hot foods cooking in the night, normal aid station fare, and of course volunteer specialties being served until the last finisher comes through.
The course is well marked with ample signage at turns and reflective everything for those racing into the night. This is going to be an awesome event for veterans as well as those wanting run their first trail 1/2 marathon, 50K or 100K.
Awards will be given to top 3 Female and Male Finishers in each event.
