The
Annual Mountain Ranger Run offers the most challenging and scenic cross-country/trail course that the North Georgia Mountains can
provide. The run will be held in conjunction with the 5th Ranger Training
Battalion's Open
House.
The Open House will highlight United States Army Ranger combat techniques,
military mountaineering, hand-to-hand combat, and static displays.
The Open House follows the Ranger Mountain Run. You are invited to watch as some of the Army's finest soldiers demonstrate the skills and professionalism of the American Ranger.

Both races start at Camp Frank D. Merrill and wind through the Chattahoochee National Forest in a hilly loop along non-paved Forest Service roads & trails. Come up early and run the morning away. Early entry fee $16 - After May 3, fee is $20.
34K Mountain Ranger Bike Race
For the somewhat more adventurous crowd, this course is 34km in length. The course is challenging enough for advanced riders yet forgiving enough for beginners. Early entry fee $20 - After May 3, fee is $25.
