Comments on the CCRC 10 Miler

2007

"I really enjoyed the race -- had been wanting to run it for quite a few years and finally made it. I was operating on very little sleep the two previous nights but even so I've really glad I made the drive up from Athens yesterday morning. Beautiful rural course, not easy but just tough enough to be fun. I'll be back!"

"Congratulations on a well done race event. The church bells about half way out and back added a super touch for the race. People here are very surprised when I mention the morning temp. of the run. That's a cold winter morning in Minnesota . Again my thanks on a job well done."

"...Two years ago I found a fun way to break up the trip: The Carpet Capitol 10-Miler in Dalton, GA.  Dalton is halfway home, about thirty miles south of Chattanooga.  It turned into a great small world story when I found that David Leatherman, the race director, had graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais..." read entire article here

"Thanks to you and all the Carpet City Runners for yet another memorable 10 miler. The food was great and it snowed all the way home. Have a very happy holiday. I wish you would teach other race directors how to do it as well as your club does it. I am quite impressed that complete results and pictures are already online at the club website. It is always a pleasure to run one of your races." Carolyn Mather

"I had to let you know that this was the first time I ran this race and I told everyone, I think it is the best course I have ever done.  Your organization does an outstanding job all the way around."

"The Carpet Capital 10 Miler is a five-star race. The course is scenic, safe, accurate and challenging. The amenities-food, shirts and awards-are first class. I have a happy memory of the rolling hills of scenic northern Georgia, of new friends made and stories shared. If it ever fits your schedule, don't miss it" read full article here or visit
