XTERRA Georgia Series Finale Set for June 4

Hundreds expected to participate in Deep South Trail Run

The popular XTERRA Georgia Trail Run Series will celebrate summer with a final exam for runners of all ages and skill levels on June 4.

The XTERRA Deep South Trail Run on June 4 at Jackson, Ga., will serve as the final race of the 2010-11 season for the XTERRA Georgia Series. The race will feature a 15-kilometer trail course at the Dauset Trails Nature Center, and runners will be tested not only by the challenging course, but also by hot and humid conditions on race day.

It will be the culmination of a six-race series that started in September and has already drawn more than 1,500 runners from 20 different states this season, making it one of the most popular trail run series in the southeast region of the country.

As the series finale, the Deep South Trail Run will be the last chance for runners to earn points for the age-group standings in the Georgia Series. Several of the age-groups feature close standings, which should make for some exciting "races within the race" at the Deep South Trail Run.

Each age-group champion from the final overall standings of the XTERRA Georgia Series will be considered a region champion, and will receive a free entry to the 2011 XTERRA Trail Run National Championship at Ogden, Utah, on Sept. 25.

Entries are still being accepted, and the race is open to all runners - including runners who have not competed in any previous Georgia Series races.
