Itinerary: | |||||||
So let's start the day off right with a hike to see the sunrise at the summit of Stone Mountain. It will be dark so please bring a headlamp/flashlight, and anticipate hiking up in the dark. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the top. Once there we can enjoy some morning breakfast snacks to fuel for a morning run around the Cherokee Trail. Everyone is encouraged to run at their own pace. Afterward sunrise, we will hike down to Cherokee Trail and then carry a steady running/jogging pace around the Cherokee Trail. I will pause at major intersections to make sure any newcomers don't miss any turns. Ultimately I would like to maintain a steady pace for entire loop, and maybe even some fast sprints once we get to the hills in the wooded forests. Leave parking area in middle of Stone Mountain Village at 6:15 am. Leave Confederate Hall 6:30 am. Sunrise 7:23 am. Done at 9:30 am, enjoy the beautiful day ahead of you! *I would like to be sure everyone is able to participate safely, so I may communicate with you about your fitness level before the event. | |||||||
