Taking place in Woodstock, GA in mid-April, you can generally expect mild and pleasant spring weather. However, Georgia springs can be unpredictable, so be prepared for anything from cool mornings to warmer, sunny conditions. A light jacket might be useful for pre-race, shedding it as the day warms up.

Terrain & course feel (AI-assisted text)

The race is explicitly a '3-Mile Trail Race' run on the 'beautiful trails of the Cherokee Outdoor YMCA property.'
