there is a new 1/2 marathon and 5k at Berry College (Rome, GA). Looks like part of it will be dirt/gravel road, with no public streets involved (ie all in Berry Campus, which is like a gabillion acres). I wish all of it was dirt! Runners receive a technical type shirt Anyway, if you are interested it sounds nice: www.berryhalfmarathon.comit is on Saturday, March 1st.

Should be a good race. I went to Berry my freshman year and loved it!! A little too much I guess. Way too many school days skipped for the 88,000 acres of forest land and beautiful trails. Ended up transferring to UGA for a girl who now happens to be my wife. Good choice! This course will show you all the cool buildings of Berry College, but not so much on trails. Its a shame! The Possum Trot road is a gravel road that goes out to an old school and back. Watch out for the hundreds of really skinny deer, they might try to eat your GU Shots... regardless, its a really cool place and all who run will have a great time. I will be most likely runing this race. If you are up to running farther than a half marathon, extend your run by heading up to the Reservoir, or the House of Dreams( which are at the top of Lavender Mountain.) There are countless amounts of trails up passed the old water wheel. Not sure if Berry has a map on there site but if you google Berry College and Mountain Biking, something should come up. Happy running!!

It looks like a fun race. Unfortunately, that's the same date as the HM at Fort Yargo.

No, there are just so many of them and they're malnourished because no one is allowed to hunt them ....so they might eat your gu shots.... its hard to make a joke with out tone of voice and facial expressions...
