Course Info:

Both the 5K and 10K are very strenuous courses.  The start and finish line for both races is on Ayersville Road near the Currahee Memorial.   The 5K runs approximately halfway up Currahee Mountain to the water stop and turns around. The 10K last half mile is especially steep.  The turnaround for the 10K is at the historic elevation marker as seen on the right.  This marker will be sitting on a table near the top of the mountain.

It is recommended that all 10K runners can complete the run in a 2-hour time frame.  It is also recommended that all walkers register for the 5K event.
