Itinerary:

Let's do a trail run at Gold Branch.

If you aren't familiar with the park, you may want to print and bring a trail map: http://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/maps.htm. We plan to stay together, but you are welcome to do your own route if you are comfortable with the park and running alone. We do ask that you meet us back at the parking lot after the one hour run. We will account for everyone.  

We will start on time or a few minutes early if everyone is there early. You should bring a headlamp as the days are getting shorter.

This park requires a $3 parking fee, so if you don't have an annual pass, be sure to bring $3 cash. 


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

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

Gold Branch is on Lower Roswell Road, between Johnson Ferry Road and Wileo Road.  The sign is very easy to miss, because it's between some exclusive residential areas and is hidden until you are right at the entrance.  If you're coming from Johnson Ferry Road, it's on the right, about 2 miles from Johnson Ferry.  If you're coming from Wileo, it's also a couple of miles, but on your left.  If you're following Azalea Drive and turn left onto Wileo, be aware that Wileo becomes Lower Roswell Road when it does a 90 degree left turn.  The park is 2 miles further down Lower Roswell - - on your left. Remember, it's very easy to pass right by it, so slow down and look for the little turn-off after 2 miles!
