About This Event

The Cloudland Canyon races offer a scenic introduction to Georgia's rugged canyon country, designed with accessibility and beauty in mind rather than brutal difficulty. Set in northwestern Georgia's Cloudland Canyon State Park, these multi-distance events showcase dramatic canyon vistas, cascading waterfalls, and sunrise views that stretch to the horizon. The race organization emphasizes safety and enjoyment while still delivering genuine trail challenges. Offering four distances from 5 miles to 50 miles, the event accommodates runners across the experience spectrum. The courses feature rolling hills punctuated by notable climbs and the signature descent into the canyon depths before the inevitable climb back out. December timing means cooler temperatures and the possibility of frost-touched landscapes, though runners should prepare for variable winter conditions in the Georgia mountains. Run Bum Tours has established this as part of their Southeast trail running calendar, focusing on community and scenic value rather than ego-crushing difficulty. The race director's emphasis on bringing cameras speaks to the visual rewards awaiting runners willing to tackle the canyon's challenges.
