About the Alapaha Station Celebration 5k
The race starts and finishes at Alapaha's historic train depot, then heads out onto quiet country roads just beyond the edge of town. The surroundings are open South Georgia countryside, so there is not much shade, but there is also not much traffic or noise. It runs flat and straightforward, the kind of morning where you can settle into a pace and just look around.
Awards go out shortly after the last runners finish, so there is reason to stick around. The depot serves as a natural gathering spot, and the post-race energy stays close to where you started.
