This past weekend the 2010 XTERRA Georgia Trail Run Thrills in the Hills at Ft. Yargo Park in Winder, GA was ran. 450 runners from 16 states showed up for the event! It was beautiful weather for trail running, a vast difference, from the sloppy, muddy fun of last year’s Thrills in the Hills trail race. This year also introduced the first marathon distance trail run in the XTERRA Georgia Trail Run Series! Check out the over 200 photos from the event on our Facebook fan page. You just may be pictured if you were there traversing the course!
If you weren’t in the front of the pack and missed it, Errol Josephs, 40, of Lawrenceville, Georgia won the marathon distance with a time of 3:31:58. Amanda Holshausen, 37, all the way from McCordsville, Indiana, beat all females in the marathon with a time of 3:45:03 and placing 6th overall! David Bell, 27, of Atlanta, Georgia won the half marathon distance with a time of 1:18:00. Elena Linn, 24, of Marietta, GA won the half marathon distance with a time of 1:32:13. All the runners did a great job. There is one more race in the six race series on June 5th, the XTERRA Georgia Trail Race Deep South. This is the last race of the season. Congratulations to everyone who has participated!

Looks like it was a sick race. Glad the weather was cooperative.
