Fire Tower Frenzy : Ellijay, GA, Nov 1, 2025

Fire Tower Frenzy is a trail running event near Ellijay, Georgia. The event offers two distances:

  • 40 Miler
  • 100K

Registration closes Oct 26 (check the event website for details).

Course and logistics

The trailhead is on FS Road 90A and the course runs through the Cohutta WMA in Gilmer and Murray counties. The route for the 40 Miler includes a summit of Grassy Mountain with a visit to the fire tower, a loop around Lake Conasauga, a descent of Bear Creek, and sections of Pinhoti 1 and Pinhoti 2. The 40 Miler is about 40 miles with roughly 7,000 m of climbing. Aid stations are placed mostly every 5–7 miles.

The 100K follows the first loop and then continues on a second shorter loop that follows Pinhoti 2, includes a roughly 7-mile gravel climb back to the top of Bear Creek, and then repeats the loop over Pinhoti 1 to finish at the start. Aid stations for the 100K are about every 5–8 miles and will operate overnight. Pacers are permitted for the final 20-mile loop of the 100K. Course GPX files are provided for both distances.
