Race Info
The Georgia Jewel is a zero-waste journey. In partnership with NewTerra Compost, at each aid station and the finish line, there will be composting, recycling, and recycling gel wrappers. All runners have to bring a cup and be ready to pack out what they bring in.
Aid station food will change with the time of day and distance of the race. Early on, there will be the traditional snacks like fruit, cookies, and chips.
As the race clock and distance progress, runners will find more substantial food like broth, ramen, or quesadillas. There are also plenty of options for vegan or vegetarian athletes.
Pacers can only meet their runners at the designated locations, and each runner can only have one pacer at a time. Pacers can’t drop off or enter at any other location than pacer-designated aid stations.
