The Dalton Half Marathon Oct 16th

March 19, 2010

I am pleased to announce Dalton has confirmed a USRA Half Marathon to be run on October 16, 2010. The Dalton Half Marathon will be part of the USRA Half Marathon Series.

Join us for a Press Conference on Thursday March 25th at 10 am in the Freight Depot and learn more about the business opportunities and needs that will be required to make this a noteworthy and recurring annual event for Dalton.

USRA Half Marathons in Council Bluffs, IA and Bentonville, AR have drawn over 1100 runners each. The Lexington Half Marathon scheduled for March 28th has been closed to registration at 2500 runners.

Knowing the success other cities have experienced I feel confident that Dalton will experience similar success.

Carpet Capital 10 Miler

Our club's premier event is the annual 10 mile race held every second Saturday in December and run continuously since 1988. It is in the Run & See Georgia Grand Prix series and is also the RRCA Georgia State Championship. The course is very unique in that it winds entirely through the rolling countryside of Northwest Georgia and even passes a quaint country church playing its Christmas bells. Check out the CC 10 Miler homepage for yourself. We hope you can join us for the race and a bowl of homemade soup afterwards.
