Come run into the sunset and enjoy the Georgia night with the Red Dirt Runners at the 2nd Annual "Rollin Into The Night" 6 Hour trail run.

This is a completely free run. You only pay in sweat and hopefully not tears. Donations to help offset some of the cost are appreciated.

The course is a 2-mile single track trail loop with plenty of trees, creek beds, and challenging short climbs. There is approximately 250' of elevation gain per loop. Thanks to Hurricane Helene, this year's course has been modified and is the same as the “Southern Chicken Fried 25/50K" course.

This is a family friendly event where all are welcome to hang out around the fire pit and watch the run throughout the evening.

There will be a single aid station and plenty of room to setup your own tables as well.

Check-in and bib pick-up between 5:00 PM and 5:45 PM ET.

Run starts at 6 PM ET.

You must start your last lap before 11:40 PM.

Finish is at Midnight (12 AM).

Personal lights (headlamps, waist light, etc..) required.

Sorry, no pets or strollers.

Runners will receive a custom bib and participation wooden metal.
