CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that participated in this year's Thunderbunny Trail Races!

We also want to give a huge shout out to the community of volunteers that support the Thunderbunny Trail Races. From pre-race activities, to aid station support, to post-race tear down, there was over 60 individuals that contribute to make Thunderbunny possible.

Our goal with Thunderbunny is to showcase our amazing trails to the many people that come to Athens, and to show off our strong trail running community. Thunderbunny embodies that mission year after year, and it shows with so many happy finishers that comment on how well they enjoyed the experience on the course and the support from volunteers!

We're also proud to activate countless hours of trail maintenance and tree clearing in the weeks leading up to Thunderbunny race day - spring time is a beautiful time on our singletrack trails, but it also bring the bursting spring foliage that takes work to manage. We also want to comment on how much we value the work the Athens Bicycle Club, who continue to be the best stewards of our trails a community could ask for; we appreciate your support of our race!

We're wrapping up the Iron Furnace Trail Run that was held this past weekend at Lake Hope State Park! Over 200 runners enjoyed HOT conditions reaching into the mid-80's for the Half Marathon or 5 Mile distances. IFTR is our oldest and original trail running event, and we once again loved welcoming people to this amazing park.
