Who’s ready to race?
If you’ve never participated in The North Face Endurance Challenge before, now is your chance. We are giving away a free entry to the October 13-14 Southeast Regional trail race in Atlanta, GA!
Overview of the Race
The North Face Endurance Challenge was born following ultrarunning legend Dean Karnazes‘ monumental 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days . The first Endurance Challenge race was held in 2007, drawing together elite runners, ultramarathoners, and average athletes alike. The courses are all chosen to challenge the individual, as well as provide beautiful and breathtaking views along the way. What began as a single-day event with four race distances to choose from, evolved into a two-day event, with 8 different races (50-mile, 50K, Marathon, Marathon Relay, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and even a 1K Kid’s Run), held in six different cities across the United States.

My sweet escape are the side streets of Buckhead an hour before dawn
My favorite route takes me through Georgia Tech’s campus, down P’tree in midtown, and into Piedmont park.
My favorite route is a 10k loop around Perimeter Mall area
Running through Druid Hills on my way to work (it’s also part of my long runs on Saturdays) feels like running through the set of Driving Miss Daisy. :-)
Running through Lullwater park on Emory’s campus. Its a little slice of serenity from both the city and my old HS which lies tangent to it.
Favorite place to run = pinhoti trail!!!
I love to train at sweetwater state park/tributary.
Favorite place to run: Coosa Backcountry Trail
My favorite place to run is around Vogel State Park and Blood Mountain.
Favorite place to run is the Bowman’s Island to Laurel Ridge Trail at the Buford Dam (of course with my trail running peeps!)
My favorite place are the trails of Oak Mountain State Park outside of Birmingham, Al…Tons of rocks and single track trails
I love to run all of the ATL! particularly midtown and buckhead and trails like Kennnesaw Mountain and the Chattahoochee! I signed up for the North Face 2 years in a row and got injured and didn’t do it both years! Do this would be great!
And we have a winner… Congratulations, Paul!
