Racers will enjoy the gently rolling hills on the Silver Comet Trail located in Rockmart, GA, running alongside Euharlee Creek and enjoying the canopy of shade along various parts of the trail. This is a family-friendly, casual event where runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are encouraged! Participants will receive a short-sleeve T-shirt, and all children (14 and under) who complete the race will receive a “Back2School Bundle” of assorted school supplies to use the upcoming year. Race proceeds go to benefit security improvements and facilities upgrades for the school.
