What a Run With Them Is Like
Saturday kicks off at 7:30 AM at High Country Outfitters in Buckhead. The distances run long, anywhere from 6 to 20 miles, so this is serious long-run territory, not a casual 5K jog. Routes are hilly and run on roads and urban paths, which is pretty standard for Atlanta. They say all paces are welcome, and the setup with water stops and mapped routes means you are not just winging it on your own out there.
