Toccoa, GA
Entry is $30 now and rises to $35 after Sep 12, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs on the Colonel Robert Sink Trail at the base of Currahee Mountain, the same ground where the paratroop regiments trained that later appeared in Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan. It is a trail race, and the mountain makes itself known. This is genuinely hilly terrain, not a course that flattens out after the first stretch.

Almost certainly not. Half the 6.2 Miles field finished slower than 1:06:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:23:34, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (188 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 6.2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 6.2 Miles winner ran 40:13 while the median finisher took 1:06:17. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
