$10,000 to the overall winner (based on 100 runners) each runner will pay $125 to sign-up and, at the start of the race, will be given a $100 bill to carry the entire race. If the runner desires to stop or times out of the race, they will place the $100 bill into a glass case for the overall winner to claim at the end. $25 goes to the park fees. The final amount of the prize money will be determined by the number of runners signed up at the race start. Limit 100 runners.
Two years into the planning in order to discover the toughest 5K location to pull off a backyard ultra and we found it at the famous AT approach trail in the Amicalola Falls State Park at the coldest possible time of the year. The loop starts at the top of the falls with the rugged East Ridge trail leading down to the bottom parking area to pick up the lower Mountain Laurel trail and then up the AT Approach trails with 605 steps back to the top of the falls.
Simple: Each runner will have 1 hour to complete the 5K loop every hour until only one person remains.
