Get Ready to Race Rabun

A new race is coming to Rabun County, and organizer Barry Cook says it’s a big one…

“We’ll start at the River Vista Resort, then we’ll go down the Highlands Rd, through the City of Dillard and past the Dillard House; down to where the York House Rd intersects with Kelly’s Creek, down York House Rd and up Cecil Cannon, back down York House around Kelly’s Creek  to Ponderosa, then back to The River Vista Resort, and that’s the finish.”

The race will be called the River Vista Half Marathon, and take place on Sunday, December 7th, at 7:30 in the morning…

“It is the inaugural event and we are benefiting Paws 4 Life. We wanted to bring people into the County, for one, just to see the beauty of our County, and also to bring people up here for a weekend, so they can stay and see Rabun County.

Cook says there are a couple of ways to register for the race…

“The best way, you can go to our website, www.rivervistahalfmarathon.com, and you can register there, and also at www.active.com.”

Though this year is not, if all goes as planned, next year’s race will be a qualifier for the Peachtree Road-race.
