Itinerary:

Join me for a weekly run at Vickery Creek! If you want to start trail running or if you are a seasoned runner, you'll enjoy running here. This is a trail running event on hilly terrain.  Beginners may walk some of the up hills until they have built up more distance. We'll cover ~4.5 miles in 1 hour and 15 minutes(or less).


We will meet at the trail head parking area off of Oxbo Road, which is free to park at. 

We will start at event start time on the nose or earlier if everyone gets there early.

This trail run skirts an outer loop of the trails going in a clockwise direction, so after crossing over Big Creek, we hang a left immediately after the bridge and keep to the outer loop. Because the bluff area is closed we will pickup some inner trails and circle back around, so be mindful of our turns. This is a no drop run and no one will be left behind.


Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

We well meet at the trail head parking area off of Oxbo Road.

From GA 400: Get off at Holcomb Bridge Road GA 140 and head west towards Roswell.  Take a left at the first redlight which is Dogwood Road (there is a Krystal there).  Take a right at the first redlight which is Grimes Bridge Road.  After crossing the bridge over Big Creek (aka Vickery Creek here) take a left at the redlight which is Oxbo Road.  The lot is on the left just past Dobbs Rd.

From GA 9: Heading north in GA 9 (aka South Atlanta Street), pass GA 120 (aka Marietta Highway) then watch for Oxbo Road on the right at a Chevron station.  The lot is just down on the right.
