Vickery Creek (hang a left)

This is a trail running event on hilly terrain.  We will walk a little bit around the bluffs portion however.  We'll cover ~5 miles in 1 hour and 15 minutes(or less).

We will meet at the trail head parking area off of Dobbs Drive which is off of Oxbo Road.  Turn onto Dobbs Drive off of Oxbo, then go up the hill.  Soon you will come to a parking area on the right that has a few spaces for day users of the trail.  See the red circle (well it's kind of a circle anyway.  Looks more like a house) in the map shown. Look for the brown signs that says "Bridge and Trail Parking".

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.  But you just can't take every left turn to stay on the outer loop, so be mindful of our turns.

We well meet at the trail head parking area off of Dobbs Drive which is off of Oxbo Road. Turn onto Dobbs Drive off of Oxbo, then go up the hill. Soon you will come to a parking area on the right that has a few spaces for day users of the trail.  Don't go all the way to the fields.  The parking spaces are beside a building. There is a sign at the turn that reads "Bridge and Trail Parking".  In the parking lot there are 5 spaces with a sign saying "Reserved for Trail and Bridge Use".

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.  Take a right onto Dobbs Drive, head up the hill and look for the Pedestrian Bridge Parking sign on the right near the top of the hill.  Turn right and park there. There is a sign at the turn that reads "Bridge and Trail Parking".  In the parking lot there are 5 spaces with a sign saying "Reserved for Trail and Bridge Use".

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.  Take a left onto Dobbs Drive, head up the hill and look for the Pedestrian Bridge Parking sign on the right near the top of the hill.  Turn right and park there. There is a sign at the turn that reads "Bridge and Trail Parking".  In the parking lot there are 5 spaces with a sign saying "Reserved for Trail and Bridge Use".
