Cleveland, Georgia (United States of America) - "Yonah Mountain Vertical Challenge". Without mountains, we might find ourselves relieved that we can avoid the pain of the ascent, but we will forever miss the thrill of the summit. And in such a terribly scandalous trade-off, it is the absence of pain that becomes the thief of life. Craig D. Lounsbrough Details Join Team Summit for the second annual Yonah Mountain Vertical Challenge. Participants will have THREE options upon registration. -5,000ft of climbing over 3 summits of Yonah, totaling roughly 25km. -10,000ft of climbing over 6 summits of Yonah, totaling roughly 50km. -BOTH!!! The trail is technical and steep for the majority of the climb, with few sections of scrambling required. As you get closer to the summit, the path becomes double-track and some participants may even be able to run this section. After-party hosted at NoFo Brew Co - 2 miles from the trailhead! ***NEW FOR 2025!***This will become a two day race over Saturday and Sunday to allow more participants to register and mitigate congestion on the trail and at the trailhead. The 10k will be held on Saturday and the 5k on Sunday. BONUS: Yes you may register for both events for a special 15k challenge award!!! Location Yonah Mountain Trailhead 34.63721066176569, -83.72498145886013 Start/Finish will be in the main parking lot for Mt Yonah.

From there you will pass the overlook before returning down the mountain. The trail is runnable in some sections, rocky and rooty in others, and a few spots require scrambling over boulders. The race will start with a quick out and back on the gravel road leading to the trail-head, this is so runners will thin out before hitting the trail. Each time you return from your summit, you will repeat the same out and back, this is necessary to achieve the distance and vert advertised. You may encounter hikers on the course, so use caution and be courteous. Strava Route CUTOFFS 10 Hours for the 10k' Saturday- You must be on your final summit attempt by 4PM! 6 Hours for the 5k' Sunday - You must be on your final summit attempt by 12PM!
