Rabun Half Marathon

Dillard, United States • 1 Jun 2025

The Rabun Half Marathon is a grassroots trail running event held in Sky Valley, Georgia. Covering a half marathon distance, the race offers a scenic course featuring natural landmarks such as Ammon Falls, the Bartram Trail with its iconic turtle, and views of Rabun Bald at sunset. The event emphasizes a pure running experience without the typical race frills—no T-shirts, swag, or awards are provided, just a good time and official timing. Volunteers play a key role in supporting the race, with opportunities in parking, aid stations, and safety. Day-of registration is available for those ready to find the start and join the run.
