Free. You can start with nothing.
The white-trail loop course at Sweetwater Creek State Park, starting and finishing at the Group Shelter. All trail, with a few hills, technical in spots, roots, rocks, boulders, and very well marked with bright tape and flags. Poles are allowed, though most runners skip them.

Atlanta Fat Ass runs the white trails of Sweetwater Creek State Park outside Atlanta, looping out of the Group Shelter for a 50K or a 25K. Georgia Ultrarunning and Trailrunning Society has run it every January since 1994: free, GUTS members only, no frills, hot food at the finish, and a chili contest voted on by whoever else showed up.
GUTS has run the Atlanta Fat Ass every January since 1994, a decade before the club that now hosts it, Georgia Ultrarunning and Trailrunning Society, was itself founded in 2004.

2 people have been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
