Heart of the South Road Race

The Heart of the South Road Race is a challenging ultra-distance event held in Bryant, Georgia, covering approximately 350 miles. Participants begin by parking their vehicles atop Sand Mountain and are bused to an unknown start location 300-350 miles away. After receiving course maps, runners have 10 days to navigate back to their vehicles, relying solely on their skills and limited supplies.

The race emphasizes self-reliance and adventure, with twice-daily check-ins and support for those who drop out. Finishers are shuttled to nearby motels for rest. This unique event offers a profound experience of solitude and endurance on open roads. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
