  • Comments: One of the shorter events put on by the Georgia Ultra-Running and Trail Running Society (GUTS) this is one of my favorite trail races in the region - but you just have to be on your game to get registered as it sells out in less than 10 minutes every year. The course has a little bit of everything: from wide, flat, fast sections, to twisty, climby, single track parts. Lots of volunteers, great aid stations, and super post-race food. Awards only go 10 deep for overall finishers, plus a first place for masters and grandmasters. I kinda like that, although not sure if I could ever sneak in to the top 10. I would need to run a 7:05 pace (25 seconds per mile faster) and at this point that would be a fairly heavy lift without dropping everything else and just focusing on the run.

  • Comments: Well run race, awesome swag bag and the course is wide open, not technical but challenging with the climbs so you can run your own race instead of the singletrack bottlenecks. Fantastic sponsor support tents and hot food served after, what a deal!

  • Comments: This is a keeper on the schedule. I imagine it will become more and more difficult to get into in the coming years as it's now out of the closet so to speak. There was a feel to this race, that I had not felt since my Michigan running days. A true running community. It was awesome.

  • Comments: What a great low key event. Guts is a class organization. They had plenty, and I mean plenty, of post race food. Soup was awesome. Course was great with plenty of volunteers. I will add this to my yearly race plan.
