athens to atlanta is the premier ultramarathon roadskate in the usa with a
tradition of 25 consecutive years for this 87-mile inline and quad
road skating classic. starting at the classic center in athens, ga, the route
follows the country roads to dacula where the 38-mile shorter course completes.
another shorter route, the 52-miler, runs along much of the course starting near
dacula, winding through busy gwinnett county to stone montain village and clarkston,
finishing in Piedmont Park with the full distance skaters. This is a great event
and the perfect companion to piedmont North Carolina's Tour to Tanglewood, a 2-day
90-mile tour (not a race) with another real test: 87 miles in one day in the
seriously rolling hills of piedmont Georgia!
