We have an exciting race coming to you in the mountain trails of Blue Ridge, GA. The great thing about the sport of running is the camaraderie among runners. In a typical race the faster runner (Hare) arrives long before the middle/back of the pack and the slower runner (Tortoise) arrives as the party is ending. How about a race where everyone finishes (approximately) at the same time?! Introducing-The TORTOISE and the HARE 50K! The course is mostly of rolling hills with intermediate inclines.
