The Sparrow is an ultrarunning event in Griffin, Georgia, featuring two timed races: 6-hour and 3-hour formats, run on an approximately 2-mile loop of smooth single-track trail around a lake.

A central aid station provides standard ultra fare, with dietary options; participants may bring their own fuel and set up tents.
