The 2019 Brasstown Bald Buster 5K took place on April 27th.

This is a 3.1 mile, point-to-point, road race that finishes atop Georgia’s highest mountain, Brasstown Bald. (4,784 ft.) The highest race of any distance in Georgia and that won't change.

This is a fun race that's meant to test people. Most people will hike 90% of this race, and that's okay. The hardest mile to me is mile one. It is the steepest. The last mile is the easiest but guess what? Your legs are dead so it makes it harder. This is man vs mountain. I do repeats up and down the road when training for races in the Alps. I know this mountain intimately. I can tell you that if you find 5 ft. of downhill on the course then you went off course. It's a grind, but the feeling and the view you get from the top, is simply unparalleled. I am a trail and mountain runner and I hope this race is an icebreaker for those who are tired of running for time and want to experience something greater. People always ask, “Why would you run up that mountain?” and I always answer the same… “Nothing easy ever earned you anything worth while.” EARN YOUR SUMMIT
