Course Information
We will have Self-Serve water stations approximately every 1.5 miles. If you are wanting to run fast and not stop, you might want to bring your own personal hydration.
We're in North Georgia, and there's not much that anyone can call flat & fast. However, this course if most definitely one of the flattest and fastest course we've got! The 5K is one loop & the 10K is a double loop.
Course map below is labeled differently, but is for the Reindeer Run as it uses the same venue.
