RACE COURSE 

The course is beautiful and offers something for every runner truly wishing to ´ditch the city´. Nestled in the woods of suburban Atlanta lies a true gem. Well groomed system of trails with gentle slopes and beautiful scenery will leave you breathless (if that doesn't, the 8.15/3.85 miles will). Both courses start on the gravel road (just past the main gravel parking area at the "sewer cap"). We will run down the gravel road and turn hard right onto Wild Cat Trail (counterclockwise). At 2.85 miles the course will split (short course turns hard left headed back to the start / finish on the gravel road NO GRASS FIELD). The long course will turn hard right at 2.85 miles and head up to Driftwood Trail (turn hard right onto Driftwood Trail Running in a counterclockwise direction). After exiting Driftwood Trail Turn hard left on to the gravel road at 7.10 miles. Stay on the Gravel Road all the way to the start / finish NO GRASS FIELD). Once you descend into the woods, you will forget your in the city. As a matter of fact, you will come to know why we follow the creed ´Ditch the City´. From Start to Entrance to Wild Kat 1.03 Miles, Wild Kat Loop 1.86 Miles, Wild Kat to Driftwood .05 Miles, Driftwood Loop 4.26 Miles, Wild Kat to Driftwood .05 Miles, Wild Kat to Finish.
