Trail Running in the Chicopee Woods
The Trillium Trek Trail Run and Walk takes place at the Elachee Nature Science Center in Gainesville, Georgia. Participants navigate courses through the Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve, a 1,440-acre protected green space. This location features Georgia's only National Dedicated Old-Growth Forest and includes diverse environments such as woodland, lake, stream, and wetland habitats.
The event offers three distinct distances to accommodate different experience levels:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The trail system within the preserve covers 12.24 miles and is characterized by rolling topography. Registered participants receive a leaf green 100% cotton T-shirt. On-site logistics are centered at 2125 Elachee Drive, where race-day check-in and bib pickup occur. The Elachee Nature Science Center, which manages the preserve, focuses on environmental education and the conservation of natural resources.
