Course Description:
The Rock Ranch, located in The Rock, Georgia is a 1250-acre working cattle ranch located about an hour south of Atlanta in Upson County. the Rock Ranch was founded by the late S. Truett Cathy of Chick-fil-A and is dedicated to "Growing Healthy Families!"
The course transports runners across scenic countryside with moderate levels of terrain and elevation. As the name suggests, there are many large granite rocks along the course. The challenging course at The Rock Ranch is a 5k loop across "real" country. About 40 percent of the course offers shade and the course has equal uphill and downhill segments (with a long downhill stretch in the last mile). Competitors will run across manicured lawn, through hay fields, through hardwood forests, along a creek, past: ponds, horses, cows, donkeys, corn fields, Conestoga Wagons, a locomotive train, a windmill and other unique scenery. This course provides a challenging and fun venue for both competition and conditioning.
