RACE COURSE
This is great off-road running experience. The
course is beautiful and offers something for every runner truly wishing
to ´ditch the city´. Nestled in the woods of Northeast Ga lies a true
gem. Well groomed system of trails and beautiful scenery will leave you
breathless (if that doesn´t, the 6.2 or 3.1 will). Once you descend into
the woods, you will forget you´re in the city. As a matter of fact, you
will come to know why we follow the creed ´Ditch the City´.
GPS unit measures course at 5.89 miles; Calibrated Bicycle Computer
"wheel" measures course at 6.13 miles. Please note GPS Units do not
capture every twist and turn in the woods as bicycle wheel does roll
every twist and turn. This course and venue is one you won´t want to
miss (very scenic and worth the drive)! Entire trail is about 4-5 feet
wide ⁄ running surface is smooth (minimal rocks and roots) but very
hilly (you will be working up or down hill with some recovery spots in
between)! We will start the trail run in the "lower parking lot"
(registration and packet pick-up will take place in the "upper parking
lot" at the finish line). The race will start in the street (to allow
for spacing) and quickly turn left onto a narrow asphalt path around a
pond, over a small bridge and then sharp right turn up a hill running
next to the golf course). Everyone (10K⁄5K) will start out following the
"orange blazes" (markings on the trees)... at mile 1.2 the 5K runners
will stay straight and follow the orange blazes around the course... 10K
runners will turn hard right and cross the street (1st water station)
and will then follow the "purple blazes" (markings on the trees) this
section of the course will be part of an "out ⁄ back" (imagine a stem
and lollipop) stay on the stem for 1 mile (this is the "out" section) at
mile 2.2 you will stay right and follow that loop (lollipop section)
around and back to the stem you will be at 3.5 miles on the "back"
section when you get to 4.5 miles (2nd water station) road crossing you
will turn hard right after you cross the road and get back onto the
orange section of the trail – follow oranges blazes back to the road
next to a small pond up the hill and finish at the pavilion!
