Bucky’s Boot Top Prohibition Run

Welcome to the 6th Annual Bucky’s Boot Top Prohibition Trail Run, a Southern Singletrack favorite! This looped race takes place on the famous boot-shaped “Boot Top Loop”, starting on the east side of the Dowdell’s Knob overlook area.
Runners will:
Start on Pine Mountain Trail heading east toward Warm Springs. Turn left onto the Boot Top Trail, cutting back up and over Dowdell’s Knob Road. Reconnect to Pine Mountain Trail westbound, looping back to the start/finish.
This 4.3-mile loop features rocky, rooty, and rolling singletrack, with scenic highlights like waterfalls throughout the park,
wildlife sightings, a memorial rock at the 1953 plane crash site, and the iconic “Elephant Rock” before the finish line
Whether you’re running one loop or three, this race captures the heart of spring trail running in Georgia. Stick around afterward to soak in the sweeping views of “The Valley” from Dowdell’s Knob overlook — a spot so beloved, people even get married here (including one of your RDs!).
