Seasoned veterans and Trail Newbies alike, get ready for one of the most beautiful half marathons you’ve ever run! Reminiscent of a Bavarian alpine town, Helen, Georgia is the South’s quaint little gateway to the vast beauty of the North Georgia mountains. On this special race weekend, not only will you experience the whimsical beholdings of Unicoi State Park’s beautiful trails, but you’ll be able to stroll through the streets of Helen the nights before and after the race to enjoy the first weekend of the Helen holiday light display!
One EPICly beautiful way to kick of your holiday running season!
This race is 50% women, so ladies here is your chance to come have fun on a safe trail with rolling hills and amazing views. Also enjoy us for a fun weekend of hanging out and relaxing!
The half marathon will be 90% on scenic single-track trails, using some or all of the following park trails: Bottoms loop, Lake Loop, Helen Trail, and the mountain bike trail. While trail races are a bit different, difficulty-wise from road races, this course is not crazy technically challenging, and is a great first race for trail newbies!

This is a well organized event that is suitable for trail runners of all experience levels. They have great swag, a beautiful and challenging course, and a cute town near by for celebratory lunch and beverages. We appreciated the way the directors and most of the other runners managed and abided by the Covid-19 restrictions so we could all enjoy an in-person event finally!
