Race Description
Evans’ trail system is a small gem located on a private farm in
White, Georgia. The race course winds and weaves through a
beautiful farm setting, with lush green fields and breath taking
views of creeks and ponds on property. These trails were all
professionally built to suit a wide variety of skill levels. Voted fan
favorite for 2014, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring
this race back for our second season.
