GWTC 30k-15K

 

Date: January 14, 2012. Location: Old Centerville Road. Old Centerville Road makes this race a very special event. Race directors Jerry and Jackie McDaniel took control in 2005, its last year at Natural Bridge Road. In 2006 they moved the race to the red clay hills of Old Centerville Road. It begins near The Retreat at Bradley’s Pond, which graciously opens its doors for registration, awards and warmth. The hard-packed dirt road is hilly, but a special place to run with spectacular old oaks protecting much of the course. Once known as the “Ides of March,” the race was first run in March of 1978 under the direction of Tim Simpkins, who also won the inaugural race.  Its home was the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge for many years.
