Itinerary:
Come join us at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park for an eight mile run. I'll be running at a fairly slow pace (10:00 minute mile or so). There are some great trails at this park. So, come on out and enjoy some fresh air on a weekday run. I will be taking a trail leading to Burnt Hickory Road and it's a little hilly, but not too bad. You will most likely see some deer and all kinds of wildlife on the trail.

The name Kennesaw is derived from the Cherokee Indian "Gah-nee-sah" meaning cemetery or burial ground.

Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield is a 2,923 acre National Battlefield that preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign. The battle was fought here from June 19, 1864 until July 2, 1864. Sherman's army consisted of 100,000 men, 254 guns and 35,000 horses. Johnston's army had 63,000 men and 187 guns. Over 67,000 soldiers were killed, wounded and captured during the Campaign.
