Runners will enjoy a gorgeous autumn-time run that begins in downtown Athens before weaving through the historic Boulevard, Normaltown, and Cobbham neighborhoods. Runners then continue past the gorgeous Greek houses on Milledge, and through the Five Points neighborhood where energetic spectators flock and cheer as they drink their morning coffee. Runners pass the “Pumpkin Patch Church” before they head onto the University of Gorgeous campus for the last few miles and finish at UGA's Sanford Stadium. And we’ll have live music throughout the course to keep you energized and having fun!
