West Point Break
2.9.2025
Southern Singletrack Race #1
Come out and run with us on the Turkey Run Trail at beautiful West Point Lake (Georgia side). The start of the loop is wide grass road bed next to West Point Lake and Turkey Run Trail is mostly rolling single track. About 150' of elevation per loop.
The course for both the 5k and the 10k is one scenic, mostly single track trail loop with a tiny little bit of road thrown into the mix. It’s pretty and at least half of the trail runs alongside the lake. This course is a great intro to trail running and very gently rolling!
This race is capped at 100 runners and will sell out! So don't miss out on the awesome small trail race event atmosphere and one-of-a-kind swag! Every racer will get a custom BOCO running cap!!

Bucky's Boot Top Prohibition Run
4.12.2025
Southern Singletrack Race #3
Southern Singletrack Trail Series is thrilled to announce the 5th annual Bucky’s Boot Top Prohibition Trail Run –7K/14K/21K.
The race will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 8AM EST to benefit Mercy Med. This race is capped at 75 runners due to limited parking availability as mandated by the State Park. This race will sell out! If this race sells out, there will be NO additional spots sold.
This is a loop race on the Boot Top boot-shaped “Loop” starting at the east side of the Dowdell’s Knob overlook area onto the Pine Mountain trail headed eastbound towards the direction of Warm Springs. Runners will take a left onto the 1.3-Mile-long Boot Top Trail that will cut back up and over Dowdell’s Knob Road leading back over to the Pine Mountain Trail towards west of Dowdell’s Knob. Runners will go left onto the Pine Mountain trail headed back to complete the Boot Top Loop. This race is a nice change from the usual ol’ trail races around FDR and we know you will want to join us in running ‘round and ‘round the 4.3-mile boot shaped loop running from the law like the Prohibitionists in the ‘30’s! This loop promises a super fun mix of rocky, rooty, and rolling singletrack. If you stop or slow down long enough you will enjoy one of the many waterfalls in FDR, tons of wildlife, the memorial rock at the 1953 plane crash site, and the infamous elephant rock along the way back to the finish line. So come on out to the “east end” of FDR State Park, enjoy a loop or or two or three with friends, and hang out afterwards overlooking the tremendous views of the “Valley” from the beautiful Dowdell’s Knob overlook! (Rumor has it that lots of folks love this spot so much that they get married here – including one of your RD’s!!) You will run one loop for 7K, two loops for 14K, and three loops for 21K.

Holiday Hootie Hoo
12.15.2024
Come out to celebrate the holidays and run with us on one of Georgia’s longest and most scenic trails at F.D.R. State Park on Pine Mountain. Here you can experience the beauty of Pine Mountain firsthand, including unusual rock outcroppings and stands of hardwoods and longleaf pine. It also has a number of rock formations and springs and creeks to cross along the Half Marathon route. The 10K race will take you along the Mountain Creek Nature Trail Loop and part of the Long Leaf Loop out and back. Both routes will test your ability to run along tons of rocky, rooty single-track trails under tons of leaf cover – so watch your step.
