Event Description

Series Mission: To raise awareness of the benefits the Firefly Trail will bring to area residents and visitors by providing an annual series of running/walking events in communities along the Firefly Trail corridor. For more information about the Firefly Trail please visit the FIREFLY TRAIL WEBSITE.

Series Overview:  The Race Series will consist of four in-person and virtual events providing running/walking opportunities in towns formerly linked by the historic Athens Branch of the Georgia Railroad. This 39-mile transportation corridor is being converted to a non-motorized rail-trail between Athens and Union Point. A safe, off-road path, the Firefly Trail will connect three counties and eight communities, offer health benefits, boost economies, and bring people together. 

What a deal!  You can run four great races along the beautiful Firefly Trail for only $17.50 for each race, no shirt, and for only $22.50 for each race with a shirt.
