Running in Georgia: Perspective From a 40+ Year Runner
I started AmericanRunnerBlog.com after running in Georgia (and across the United States) for more than 40 years and competing in marathons for nearly two decades. I wanted a fun, unique calendar/schedule of interesting road race and trail events throughout Georgia with the insight of someone who’s “got the T-shirt.”
AmericanRunnerBlog.com is a unique, enjoyable look into Georgia running events, from serious, hardcore races to casual, laid back courses—and everything in between.

Looking for the best places to stay near your next Georgia running event? As a long-time marathon runner, I know quite a few! When one really stands out, like the little Hilton Hotel across the street from the Start Line in Albany, I’ll tell you about it in my blog post..
Also, if I find a seriously-improved running shoe, running shorts, running pants, smart watch, reflective, or anything else that makes us faster, safer, warmer or drier… If I like it, I’ll give you my honest review.
