This is a self-supported, self-navigated, open-road event - there are no street closures, course markings, or aid-stations along the route. This event requires problem-solving and strategy in addition to physical endurance, working as a team to reach your goal. 

Relay teams must have 2 to 5 runners to compete. You may also have alternate runners on standby in the event of illness or injury, however, once your alternate runner joins the race, the original runner cannot return to the team and the alternate must finish the event in their place.

The rules are simple: Each team must make it from Atlanta to Savannah on foot, with additional side-quests along the way. Each team must have at least one person moving on foot, covering the entire distance from start to finish. Runners may alternate as often as desired and in any order desired, assuming there is a safe and legal transition point to do so. Vehicles should never park on private property, block roadways, tail runners at a slow speed, or do anything to attract negative attention to the event.

The first team to reach Forsyth Park will be crowned champions.

Your team will be provided with a suggested route, including key checkpoints you'll be expected to reach - it will be up to each team to strategize their own route and transition zones, prioritizing safety and following local laws at all times.

The suggested route will be similar to the course followed by Team Summit in 2025. The first 30 miles or so will have sidewalks or greenway to follow. After that you'll spend most of the journey following the shoulder of quiet country roads, passing through small towns with the occasional sidewalks, and through residential areas and farmland.

Atlanta to Monticello (Leg 1): The first leg is a challenging urban and rural mix, featuring rolling hills and long stretches of greenway, using the Rockdale River Trail, Arabia Mountain Path, and South River Trail.

Monticello to Milledgeville (Leg 2): A mid-race section that dips into Georgia’s agricultural heartland, offering quiet roads and stunning views of fields and forests.

Milledgeville to Metter (Leg 3): A fast-paced leg with straightaways and slightly flatter terrain, perfect for maintaining pace.

Metter to Savannah (Leg 4): The final stretch takes runners through picturesque rural landscapes before entering Savannah, with the finish crossing over cobblestone streets, and ending with the final sprint through historic Forsyth Park.
