Helen Holiday Half Marathon

Helen Holiday Half & 10K takes place in Helen, Georgia, and centers on a festive, scenic trail experience. The event offers a half marathon (approximately 13 miles) and a 10K, both run on mountain trails rather than roads. Runners should expect elevation, a big climb, and technical sections, with course markings in lieu of mile markers.

The event is hiker- and walker-friendly, with a 6-hour cutoff for the half and an organized aid stop around mile 8. Special features include a beanie, a finishers pint glass, and a badass medal, plus top-3 awards for men and women. The overall vibe is festive, turning the course into a holiday-themed trail party.
