Griffin, United States • 7 Feb 2026

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. In 2026 the course relocated to Griffin for scenic water views; starts are staggered so all runners finish together. A central aid station provides standard ultra fare, with dietary options; participants may bring their own fuel and set up tents. All registrants receive a Sparrow t-shirt (guaranteed if registered by Jan 20); top mileage earners can earn raffle tickets for sponsor prizes.
