Athens-Clarke County, GA

Running in Athens is centred on the compact downtown loop and tree-lined parks like Memorial Park, with the Old Folks 4K and 1621 Runs anchoring the local 5K scene. Cyclists dominate the region—the rolling terrain around Clarke County feeds into sustained climbs through Georgia's piedmont, making BikExodus and the Jackson County Tour De Habitat popular 100km events that test your legs early in the year. The area sits at roughly 200m elevation with moderate grades ideal for endurance rides heading toward the northern hills.
