XTERRA Ends Georgia Series in Deep South

RACE #5 IN THE XTERRA GEORGIA TRAIL RUN SERIES

XTERRA is finishing the 2008 Georgia Trail Run Series with a bang. At the end of this season's road, XTERRA brings one final extreme, off-road adventure to Dauset, Georgia with the XTERRA Deep South Trail Run 15k on May 31.

Held within 1200 acres of picturesque woodlands and 17 miles of winding paths inside the Dauset Trails Nature Center, athletes will scramble over a little more than 9 miles of hard-packed dirt, mud-traps and a few twisting roots thrown in just for fun. The course crosses over gentle slopes, up grueling climbs and through a flat forest basin. The mixture of single and double tracks along with a few technical sections will give runners the ultimate off-road running experience.

Urban athletes looking to "Ditch the City" can head for these beautiful, scenic woods of suburban Atlanta where they will find a variety of terrain leading them through thick grassy fields, around glistening blue lakes and over narrow creek crossings. Runners will experience nature at its best and hopefully get the chance to view some of the animal wildlife along with its breathtaking vistas. After attracting runners from 11 states at the last event, expectations are high for the XTERRA Deep South Trail Run.

Atlanta local Chris Wiley will be there hopeful to win his third consecutive race to complete the sweep of the XTERRA Georgia Trail Run Series. After coming in first place in the last two events, Chris is in a great position to win free entry to the XTERRA National Trail Running Championship to be held on September 27 in Bend, Oregon. After the National Championship, athletes will then have the chance to compete in the XTERRA Trail Running World Championship December 7 in spectacular Hawaii.
