Welcome to the site of The Georgia Jewel 100 Mile Race
NEW THIS YEAR:
The 50 Mile race will be a point to point adventure,
starting at the 100 mile turnaround point.
The organizers and volunteers are excited to present the 2013 event coming up in September. We are working hard to present an event that is worthy of all of the hard training that you put in. We have added additional aid stations and other interesting features. We look forward to hosting you in September!
The Georgia Jewel 100, 50 and 35 mile events are out and back races run on the pristine Georgia Pinhoti trail. The races will start and finish at the Dalton Convention Center. This rugged course on North West Georgia's Pinhoti Trail will escort you across five scenic mountains and along the narrow crests of several ridges of the Chattahoochee National Forest. This mostly single track trail is technically rocky and rooty but is well maintained by our friends at NWGA SORBA. There are several stream crossings to be experienced during the race. The lowest elevation on the course is 770 feet and the highest elevation of 1788 feet will reveal the views from the top of Dug Mountain. Because of the out and back nature of the course, runners will both climb 16,053 feet and descend 16,053 feet during the 100 mile distance. The course consists of roughly 70 miles of single track trail, 21.5 miles of jeep road and 8.5 miles of paved road. Tenacity will allow you a final downhill finish to a unique award for your ultra-achievement!
