48th Annual Hogpen Hillclimb 18k & Cool River Tubing 5k
The Hogpen Hill Climb 18k is one of the toughest races in America with the course leaving downtown Helen Ga, exiting the city and going straight up the Richard B Russell Parkway to the top of Hogpen Gap. The Cool River Tubing 5k is a scenic, super flat and super fast course that leaves the City of Helen from the River Pavilion, travels along the Chattahoochee River to the Hardman Farm Historic Site and back. There are great swag bags for participants, a unique and collectable race day t-shirt, a food truck for all race participants and one-of-a-kind prizes to top finishers and medals for all participants.
