Get out of the city and join us for another race with Soil Mates Trail Races. Run on beautiful private trails with fresh air, fun running mates, and no pavement over rich Georgia soil. Running on soil is good for the soul and your soles! Running laps on trails for hours can make you feel loopy. If you love that feeling like we do, come join us at our family-owned working cattle farm in middle Georgia (between Macon and Columbus) to see how many loops you can run. Whether you're a road runner who is trail curious, a seasoned trail runner, or a weekend hiker, this race offers options for all levels. All three distances start together at 8:00 am. Not sure you want to get too loopy? Run a single lap (we're flexible on the hour cutoff). Longing for that loopy feeling? Tackle the four or eight-hour option (strict time cutoffs). Three laps is a half marathon, six laps is a marathon, and eight laps pushes you beyond the 50K mark. The start/finish point of the 4.37-mile loop is in a large open
