Fire Tower Frenzy
Come run wild with us through the woods on Nov 2, 2024 for our second year of the Fire Tower Frenzy with a new distance availabe!!
Fire Tower Frenzy will start and end at Mulberry Gap Adventure Basecamp located at 400 Mulberry Gap Rd, Ellijay, Ga. The course will take you on the grand tour of the Cohutta WMA located in Gilmer and Murray counties. You will summit Grassy Mountain and visit the fire tower, take a loop around Lake Conausaga, run down Bear Creek and over both Pinhoti 1 & 2 sections for a total of ~ 40 miles and 7k of climbing.
We will have aid stops along the course serving up all your favorite ultra fare (mostly every 5-7 miles) and all the climbing you could want. Generous 13 hour cutoff (21 min/mile avg) just because!
NEW FOR 2024 We are also offering a 100K option. You complete the first loop of the course and do the 1 mile trail on Mulberry Gap property and continue on for a second shorter loop following the 5ish mile gravel climb back to the top of Bear creek and doing the loop all over again going over P1 and P2 sections of the Pinhoit and finishing with one final FULL loop on the brutal Mulberry Gap property! With a 22 hour cut off and aid stops every 5-8 miles serving up the best hot food all night, we will be running wild all night!
** you may have pacer for the last 20 mile loop!
