XTERRA Georgia Trail Run Series – Deep South 15K, Dauset Trails
Tweet
It’s time to get Dirty again with Dirty Spokes Productions, LLC’s next event, the 2nd Annual Deep South 15K at the Dauset Trails in Jackson, GA on June 7th. It’s almost like you don’t need SeriousRunning.com to find awesome trails to run because Dirty Spokes Productions, LLC does the work for you by hosting trail races on all the best trails in Georgia and Alabama in their XTERRA Trail Race Series Georgia/Alabama. Notice I said you almost don’t need SeriousRunning.com’s trail run listings.
The Dauset Trail System is a 17 mile system that is a great trail run for all levels of trail runners from beginner to expert. This is a single and double track off-road running experience with beautiful scenery. The race will start in an open field (required for spacing) but will soon lead into the woods. The terrain is made up of a little bit of everything, rolling hills, climbs, single track, double track, roots, gravel and concrete drive along with some technical sections. The trails are well marked and fast with minimal climbing. This is a beautiful course that offers something for every runner. Variety and beauty? I’ve been seeking that my whole life!
Make the Deep South 15K a family weekend trip! The Dauset Nature Center has a lot to offer families of all ages. There are farm animals at the barnyard exhibit, a “wonder room” with alligators, turtles, and snakes, or you can search for wildlife on your own by hiking the animal trail where you will find hawks, owls, raccoons, bison, and bobcats! Like to view your wildlife in a more relaxed setting? Perfect. Sit at the picnic tables overlooking the lake while your children feed the large bream, catfish, turtles, ducks, and Canadian geese from the bridge. You can even bring your own horse and hike the 10 miles of horse trails. Stay the weekend in the campgrounds and have a family fun weekend. Don’t have a family yet? That’s ok, bring your significant other and get married or even re-married at the beautiful chapel. How romantic. You know what’s even more romantic? Running a 15K trail race for your honeymoon. Awe yeah. You dog you.
Bottom line, you don’t want to miss this trail race. I’ve run many of the Dirty Spokes produced XTERRA Georgia Trail Run Series Races and each one is superb. The trails are great and the organization is like a well oiled machine. There are always plenty of restrooms, post race food and drink, and quick race results. I like to be able to brag about how fast I ran as soon as possible. Always a good time and a lot of fun trail racers to socialize with post race. Great race director, great racers, and great trails, what else do you want? Sorry, only you can determine whether or not you run a great race.
Go ahead and register online or print off a registration form and send it in the mail. The entry fee is $35 from now until May 27th so you have 9 days to get your significant other to want to re-marry you. If you aren’t that smooth, you can register by June 5th for $40 or on race day for $45. See, it pays to plan ahead. What do you get for this entry fee other than the experience of running one of the best trail runs in Georgia? A Zorrel Dri Balance Race Shirt; but those aren’t guaranteed for late registration so hurry up and register. Want more? Then run fast. Awards are handed out to the top 3 overall male and female finishers plus the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group. Here are the age group categories.
‘Ditch the city’ and run the XTERRA Georgia Trail Run Series Deep South 15K. You’ll be glad you did.
