Assault on Yonah Mountain

The Assault on Yonah Mountain is an annual trail event held in Cleveland, Georgia, featuring a challenging 2.5-mile course that ascends approximately 1,650 vertical feet from the mountain's base to its summit. Participants can run, hike, or compete in a ruck division requiring a minimum weight of 15 pounds for women and 20 pounds for men. The course includes rocky and steep sections, with a mix of gravel roads and technical single-track trails.

Runners aim to complete the climb in under 30 minutes, while hikers may take up to 90 minutes. All finishers receive medals, and top male and female competitors earn custom awards. The event emphasizes safety, trail maintenance, and a rewarding summit view. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
