Tortoise & The Hare Half Marathon/10k
September 3rd, Sutallee Trail
City: Canton
There's an exciting race coming to you on the Sutallee trails of Canton, GA just a short drive north of Atlanta. The great thing about the sport of running is the camaraderie among runners. In a typical race the faster runner (Hare) arrives long before the middle/back of the pack and the slower runner (Tortoise) arrives as the party is ending. How about a race where everyone finishes (approximately) at the same time?! Introducing…the TORTOISE and the HARE HALF MARATHON and 10K™! This is a great training race for the 50k/30k race.

XTERRA Georgia Battle at Big Creek 10/5.5 Mile Trail Running Race
Saturday, October 29, 2016
City: Roswell (Big Creek Trails)
This is a great single and double track off-road running experience. The race will start on the Greenway Concrete Trail (required for spacing) but will soon lead into the woods. The terrain is made up of a little bit of everything, rolling hills, single track, double track, roots, rocks (did we say rocks) along with some technical sections (tight and twisty). The course is beautiful and offers something for every runner truly wishing to 'ditch the city.'
