Fire Tower Frenzy

Fire Tower Frenzy is a challenging trail running event held in Ellijay, Georgia, featuring two distances: a 40-mile race and a new 100K option. The course traverses the scenic Cohutta Wildlife Management Area across Gilmer and Murray counties, including summiting Grassy Mountain and visiting a fire tower. Runners experience diverse terrain with climbs totaling around 7,000 feet, loops around Lake Conasauga, and sections of the Pinhoti Trail.

Aid stations are spaced every 5-8 miles, offering ultra-fare and hot food, with generous cutoffs of 13 hours for the 40-miler and 22 hours for the 100K. Pacers are allowed for the final 20 miles of the 100K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
