The Callaway Gardens Fitness Series kicks off the year 2009 with a marathon/half marathon on Sunday, January 25. A 5K run will be offered on January 24 for those novices who aren't quite ready for the marathon or half-marathon. Race routes include scenic roadways inside Callaway's 13,000 acres, making this an enjoyable experience for participants and spectators alike. The Marathon is a "Boston Marathon" qualifier. Many runners pick this event to qualify for "Boston" which has similar elevation changes. Over the past eight years, the Marathon at Callaway Gardens also has become very popular with the "50 Staters" (people whose goal is to run a marathon in all 50 states). Callaway Gardens has a reputation of beauty and hospitality that the "50 Staters" desire. The Marathon is two loops through Callaway Gardens. The Half Marathon is one loop. Please call 1-800-CALLAWAY (225-5292) to make your overnight reservations. For more information on the event call Dave Johnson Enterprises at 770-565-5208. | Half Marathon (January 25) |  | | Marathon (January 25) | | | 5K (January 24) | |
