This gem of a 50k starts and finishes in Sky Valley, Georgia. Sky Valley is the highest city in Georgia at 3,100 ft. 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 never picked your head up during the race! 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 3,500 ft of climbing total and the same descent. While most people will be hiking most of the up, there will still be folks who run the entire thing. Sprinters and back of the packers welcome!www.runbumtours.com/#!georgia-sky-to-summit/c1log |
