  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • 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.
