From the Race Organizer
Lace up for a crisp fall morning run through one of North Georgia’s most picturesque settings. The race begins on the beautiful Young Harris, Mayor's Park beside the College campus, surrounded by colorful autumn leaves and the charming energy of a college town. The course winds into the serene trails of Cupid Falls Park, where the soothing sounds of the waterfall greet you before opening up to scenic pathways along the creek. From there, you’ll pass the Young Harris College athletic fields, where the mountain backdrop reminds you why this is running paradise. The route loops back through campus, taking in the historic buildings and lively student support, before a triumphant final stretch. Your glorious finish awaits at Sharp United Methodist Church, where volunteers will be cheering you on coming through the finisher's shoot to celebrate your run/walk achievement. Due to elevation and various ground changes & conditions….No strollers and No Pets in the race.
