Itinerary:
OK, Hilke & I have been a bit lazy since returning from Peru, so we're going back to our training mountain. ***The hike will start at 10:00 AM so please plan on meeting around 9:50 AM to sign in.
.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battefield Park is a fantastic area for in-town hiking and fitness training.
.
We will start at the Visitors Center and hike the 1.2 miles to the 1808 ft. top of Kennesaw Mountain. From there, we will head across and down Little Kennesaw Mountain. We'll cross Burnt Hickory Road, and then return to the Visitor Center hiking back over Little and Big Kennesaw Mountains.
.
The total hiking distance is about 5 miles with minimum rest breaks. We used to do this hike in 1 hour and 38 minutes, but today we'll go a little slower and do it in about 2.5 hours.

Required Items to Bring:
Lots and lots of water or Gatorade
Good hiking shoes
Snack		Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:I-75 North to Exit 269, Barrett Parkway; turn left off the exit onto Barrett Parkway; travel approx 3 miles and turn left onto Old Hwy 41 (this is past US 41, Cobb Pkwy); at the next light turn right onto Stilesboro Road; the park Visitors Center is immediately on your left.
NOTE: The parking lot will probably be full - so the best thing to do is to go ahead and park along Old Hwy 41 just before Stilesboro Road. .Meet at 9:50 a.m. at the cannon outside the main entrance of the Visitors Center.
