The Georgia Death Race

The Georgia Death Race is a challenging 74-mile trail running event held in Blairsville, Georgia, starting at Byron Herbert Reece Farm and ending at Amicalola Falls State Park. Participants must carry a 1-pound railroad spike throughout the race, which symbolizes their journey. The course features a demanding elevation change of 16,000 feet both ascending and descending, making it one of the most sought-after ultra marathons on the East Coast.

With a completion rate of around 60%, this race is known for its intensity and excitement, often described as the "craziest and most fun race East of the Rockies.". Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
