We have such an amazing community of volunteers excited to see you all on Saturday!

Our Friends of Sloppy Floyd State Park volunteers LOVE this park, this race, and all of you runners! Honestly, they are fascinated with what you all do out there!

Advance Rehab Summerville has served our runners with an aid station for ALL 20 years!!! HUGE thanks to their amazing volunteers and support!

Thank you to Ridge and Valley Adventures for manning Jenkins Gap aid station again this year! They give back to the running community while also putting on some super races! Check them out!

We also want to thank our supportive Park Staff at James H "Sloppy" Floyd State Park, our local Atrium Health EMS (please don’t do anything to need them on race day), our course volunteers, and our community members who just want to be a part of this event!

Putting this race on is truly a team event. And, our prize on race day is watching you all accomplish your goals and having fun doing so. It’s almost time!!

Run hard. Finish strong. We’ll have a cold one waiting. 🍺🏃
We’re excited to team up with to support the Twisted Ankle Trail Race on September 12!
The first 100 runners who bring their voucher into Jefferson’s after the race will get a Chattooga Brewing beer on us.
We love getting behind the events that bring people together in our community — especially when they involve trails, good people, and a well-earned beer at the finish. And yes… I’ll be out there running Twisted Ankle too. 😅
See y’all on the trail — and at Jefferson’s afterward.
Happy running & cheers! 🍻

Becky’s Bluff ❤️ To know her is to love her.

10Mile and Half Marathon runners go up around mile 4. Your reward is a quick trip on the Pinhotti before you head back down. The hardest part of the race is over!

20 Milers get to double the fun and do it twice! So you know what to expect the second time around at mile 4ish and 14 or so. You will know when you get there.

5K runners are spared from Becky’s Bluff, but we won’t disappoint you with no hills to climb! It’s just one, and you top off at Marble Mine at around mile 1!

If you’re new to trail running, just know that very few people actually run all of the hills! This is a sport where you run where you can and hike the rest well. With purpose, as we like to say. And also eating a homemade chocolate chip cookie while you’re doing it if you’d like too.

Aid stations.

There are two on the course. One at Jenkin’s Gap Parking Lot, and the other is just past Marble Mine at an intersection. Each race will see them and this is how….

5K- will see each AS one time
10Milers - you will see each AS for a total of four times (two times at each)
Half Marathon- you will see six AS (three times each)
Double the Fun 20 milers - you are doing the 10 mile course twice, so you see them eight times!

Because we make the most of the trail miles that we have, we are figure eight-ing you all around the park. You will see these aid stations about 2-3 miles no matter the distance that you are running.

The AS just past Marble Mine will have water, Gatorade, and a few snacks.
The AS at Jenkins Gap has water, Gatorade, and lots of snacks!!! We encourage you to please bring a cup or bottle to fill if you use the aid station hydration to reduce using disposable cups.

Not only are there snacks in the woods, we have FANTASTIC volunteers there to help you out. A BIG THANK YOU to Advance Rehabilitation in Summerville for 20 YEARS of aid stations!!! They have been such amazing support! At Jenkins Gap Parking Lot you will find the awesome crew of Ridge and Valley Adventures! They put on some awesome races in Northwest Georgia and know how to take care of you. We love being able to partner with other race companies that we love.

This will all be repeated in the race week email. We are super excited for everyone to join us in less than a month! If you haven’t already signed up, hurry! You have until September 1st!
