Assault on Yonah Mountain

The Assault on Yonah Mountain is an annual trail event held in Cleveland, Georgia, featuring a challenging 2.25-mile ascent from the base to the summit of Yonah Mountain. Participants run, hike, or ruck up 1,650 vertical feet over a course that includes gravel roads, rocky sections, and steep single-track trails. The climb is divided into three parts: a gradual bottom section, a steep and technical middle with rock gardens, and a tiring top section with a consistent 12-20% grade.

The event emphasizes safety, recommending trail shoes and fitness preparation. Finishers receive medals, and the race supports trail maintenance efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
