The Georgia Jewel
The Georgia Jewel is a multi-distance trail event scheduled for October 1-2, 2027 in Dalton, GA. It is centered on the Pinhoti Trail and includes long single-track sections, a steep climb known locally as "Mt. Baker," and a technical rock garden.
Distances offered:
- 100 Miler
- 50 Miler
- 35 Miler
- 18 Miler
The 100-mile race starts at the Dalton Convention Center, uses the Dry Creek Trail system, and returns to the same area. The Dry Creek trails are maintained by SORBA and feature fast, runnable single-track through pine forest. A looped section on the course allows crews to see runners at the same location for more than 30 miles. Organizers provide bus transport for the 18, 35, and 50-mile starters to their respective start lines and supply toilets at those starting areas.
The event is limited to 450 runners. Entries may change distances until the field fills. Organizers do not offer refunds, deferrals, or bib transfers; runners are advised to consider Spot insurance when registering. The event finish area is arranged to provide seating and food for finishers and crews. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
