About

The Goat Cliff Road Race is a 1-mile road race in Clayton, in Rabun County, Georgia, held on September 4, 2027, with a 9:00 a.m. start. Its tough course features a notable climb up Sonya Road, with sweeping views of Lake Burton and the North Georgia mountains.

The race appeals to athletes and nature lovers alike, and proceeds benefit the local volunteer firefighters. It runs on a road that is normally private, which adds to the exclusive feel.
