About the Run For Rangers Half Marathon
OnPoint 1-1, a nonprofit started by a former Ranger, raises money for Ranger veterans and their families through this weekend. The half is the hard end of it, run on the forest service roads Ranger students train on outside Dahlonega, and entry money goes back to the veterans the race is named for.
Course
Start and finish sit on the airfield at Camp Frank D. Merrill. Nearly the whole route is unpaved service road curling through the Appalachian foothills within sight of the Appalachian Trail, and two sustained climbs decide how the day goes. The organizer has rerouted the race in some years, so pull the current map before you travel.
Race-day weather
Mid-November mornings in the north Georgia mountains start cold, often in the 30s or 40s, and the late start lets things warm into the 50s. Shaded gravel holds damp and cool air even when the sun is out.
