Itinerary: | |||||||
Itinerary: Join me at Kennesaw Mountain for a 17.5 miles. (1 pass over the mountain) • We will Start at Burnt Hickory Parking Lot (Also called Pigeon Hill Parking Lot) • Go towards the visitor center around the base of the mountain/Brumby Trail. • Stop at the visitor center for a quick restroom break • Continue up and over the mountain (This will bring us back to our cars if you want to switch out any gear or grab a snack.) This is also a bailout point, you must complete entire event to get credit. • Continue onto the Hardage Mill trail (There are HILLS in this section) • Cross Dallas highway and take the Cease Fire trail to the Kolb's Farm West trail • Continue onward till we hit Subway/Kroger parking lot (11.75 mile marker) • Break for about 30-45 minutes (Pack Lunch or Buy Lunch at Subway) • Head out on Kolb's Farm East Trail to Cheatham hill and pass the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier and come up behind the Illinois Monument • Proceed across Dallas Highway heading back this time via gravel path back towards the Burnt Hickory Parking Lot We will hike at a MODERATE pace (3 MPH). If you are unfamiliar with the course or hiking this distance - this might not be for you. | |||||||
