Huff N' Puff Trail Races 2027

Huff N' Puff Trail Races are winter trail races held at Dauset Trails in Jackson, Georgia. The races begin at the trail system located at 360 Mount Vernon Church Road. Participants can select from a marathon, half marathon, or 5K, allowing a range from a brief trail run to a full marathon on dirt paths. The event takes place in January, providing a cool-season atmosphere distinct from a hot Georgia summer. The course primarily consists of single-track trails featuring rolling hills, roots, rocks, and several technical sections demanding careful footing. The marathon and half marathon share the same loop, with marathon participants completing it twice. Runners will traverse alongside creeks and may observe local wildlife. The longer races are cupless; marathon and half marathon runners must carry a handheld bottle or hydration pack. Aid stations are positioned to support half marathoners twice and marathoners multiple times throughout the two-loop course.
