The course is a 4.35 mile loop of forested, rolling hills crisscrossing small creeks. The trail has roots and rocks but is runnable, with elevation gain of around 300'. The course consists of the blue loop and the white loop with the parking lot in between, starting and finishing in the field behind the Woodland Center.
About the race
The Johnston Woods Trail Festival is a 3, 6, 12, and 24 hour trail race. We have a 6-hour Rucking option also.
We have had many races here before like a backyard ultra last runner standing 2 times, and a 12-hour race.
This fundraiser raises money for kid's summer camp and community programming.

City insight: Cleveland
Cleveland is a city and the county seat of White County in Georgia, United States, about 90 miles northeast of Atlanta. It is home to the North Georgia Zoo and Petting Farm and Babyland General Hospital, the birthplace of Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. The climate is humid with hot summers and mild winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
