Dawson Forest Georgia's Area 51 Trail Races
Dawson Forest Georgia's Area 51 Trail Races are held in Dawsonville, GA, on trails within the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area. The event offers two distances and uses a mixture of forest service roads and single-track trails. The organizer states the course will be challenging. The route will be marked with turn signs and staffed by volunteers.
All participants must complete a separate wildlife management area race waiver on race morning. Main parking and the trailhead are reached via Dawson Forest Road from Hwy 400; the South entrance gate leads to the parking area on the right. The organizer notes that generic searches for Dawson Forest WMA can point to a distant location and provides GPS coordinates for the race area: 34.3501660067541, -84.1419026243286.
Event materials include a race t-shirt and a custom finisher race poker chip for all racers. Registration closes on Fri, May 8 at 11:59 PM ET.
