Organiser's Description
Race starts at PEAVINE PARKING AREA. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/cngntHiy1a6pjtmG8]
The race opens on a fast, forgiving service roa.d before dropping sharply downhill and rolling into a short, gentle climb just beyond the bridge. From there, the course turns straight up pinestraw-covered singletrack, cresting the ridge and diving back down into a flowing descent that winds its way toward the Peavine Gorge Overlook.
Youll then tackle a technical, rocky downhill to the creek, followed by narrow, technical singletrack as you move downstream along the water. After crossing the creek, hands-on rock steps force you upward as you head back upstream. This section is technical, and downright gnarly.
As you grind deeper up the gorge, Peavine Falls comes into view, marking the heart of the course. From there, youll cross the creek again and climb hard once more, scrambling up to the cliffside trail. A final bridge crossing leads into gentler singletrack, but dont relax just yetan extended climb awaits.
Once you top out on West Ridge, the trail finally opens up into runnable terrain, setting you up for a fast, rewarding finish back toward the parking lot.
Come get your Peavine shirt, and badge to prove you did one of the gnarliest 5ks in the Southeast!
