Run at the Rock 5K & 1Mi.

Saturday, November 16, 2024

5K -- 8:00am

1Mi. -- 8:45am

Join us at Woodland High School for the epic "Run at the Rock" – a legendary cross-country trail run that's cemented its place in North Georgia XC racing history! This thrilling course, a mix of grass and rugged trails, offers runners the ultimate challenge: the notorious 90-foot ascent up "The Rock" in the second mile. It's more than a race—it's a test of grit, determination, and the pursuit of glory. Whether you're a seasoned runner chasing a competitive 5K time or just looking for a fun and adventurous Saturday run, the reward of conquering The Rock awaits! For our younger athletes, we’re excited to host the 1-Mile Fun Run, a loop around our lower field that finishes in the same spot as the 5K. Will you rise to the challenge and find the glory that comes with conquering The Rock!  Please scroll to the bottom of the Run Sign Up registration page to see a route map!
