The Firefly Trail Race Series' mission is to raise awareness of the benefits the Firefly Trail brings to area residents and visitors by providing an annual series of running/walking events in communities along the Firefly Trail corridor. This 39-mile transportation corridor is being converted to a non-motorized rail-trail between Athens and Union Point. A safe, off-road path, the Firefly Trail will connect three counties and eight communities, offer health benefits, boost economies, and bring people together.
