LIKE RUNNING OR WALKING? LOVE CIDER? THIS RACE IS FOR YOU!

In it’s second year, this 5K features the amazing scenery and landscape of Mercier Orchards! Located in Blue Ridge, Georgia, and founded by Bill and Adele Mercier in 1943, they are now a fourth-generation family-owned and veteran-operated farm. Starting out as a humble roadside stand selling only apples, they are now one of the most popular agrotourism destinations in the south. So, whether you are looking to run, walk or just enjoy the cider and camaraderie this race is a sure thing for a great time and an incredible experience! This race is timed and scored by J3 Timing.
