The Georgia Sky to Summit 50K promises to be the most scenic 50K race on the East Coast. With 20+ miles of untouched single track, 20+ water falls (including the 120 ft. Holcomb Creek falls and 80 ft. Ammon Falls) The summit of Rabun Bald (the 2nd highest point in GA at over 4,700 ft!) 360 degree views of mountains in three different states, 15 small bridge crossings, and a couple of water crossings (one of which is thigh deep) |
Course Notes for the 50K: Did we mention that this race has over 14,000 ft. of elevation change? This gem of a 50K starts and finishes in Sky Valley, Georgia. Sky Valley is the highest city in Georgia at 3,100 feet above sea level. We have also named Sky Valley as the Mountain Running capital of Georgia for its plethora of trails within walking distance from the city. It was home to the Sky Valley Ski Resort, which has since closed. This time of year brings the fall colors out that really pop off the reflection of the lakes. If this isn’t the most scenic run you have done, then you've never picked your head up during a race!
New for 2018 - 50K runners will have an RFID tracking tag on the bib. Track your runner through various checkpoints along the course. Visit livetrail.net
Course Notes for the 25K: The Sky to Summit 25k is a run that starts and finishes in Sky Valley, Georgia. Runners will run to the summit of Rabun Bald and then down the backside to some epic water falls. About 4,000 ft. of climbing total and the same descent. While most people will be hiking most of the climbs up, there will still be people who run the entire thing. Sprinters and back of the packers welcome!
