About the Event

Ditch the city for a true gem of Georgia trail running at the 19th Annual Thrill in the Hills at Fort Yargo State Park on February 14, 2026. This beloved event, presented by Chateau Elan, offers three perfect distances to match any ambition: a fast and fun 5-miler, a classic half marathon (21K), and a challenging 50K that can be tackled solo or as a 2-3 person relay team. Feel the welcoming energy of a large, community-focused race as you navigate the park's beautiful mix of single and double-track trails, featuring rolling hills, gentle slopes, and scenic lake views that make you forget you're just outside Atlanta.

Experience the meticulous organization of Dirty Spokes Productions with wave starts from 7:30 AM, well-stocked aid stations, and the unique reward of a custom hand-crafted clay finisher mug for 21K and 50K participants. The 50K course, consisting of two half-marathon laps plus a final 5-mile loop, provides a formidable early-season ultra challenge with clear cut-off times. By registering early, you secure a super-soft tri-blend shirt and support the local Yargo Trail Crew, who receive a portion of the proceeds for their vital trail maintenance work. Secure your spot when registration opens in September to be part of a Southeastern trail tradition that perfectly balances competitive spirit with a festive, "ditch the city" atmosphere.
