An Agent in an Adventure Race...Really?

Everyone in Blue Ridge, GA is eagerly awaiting the upcoming Adventure Race; but the Thomas & Reece team is especially excited.  You see, our fellow Keller Williams agent Russ Stevenson and a developer with whom we closely work, Davey Haight, are competing in this North Georgia Mountain race.  These guys are training intensely to prepare for the grueling 35 mile course, which takes six to nine hours to finish.

Really, the character of the North Georgia Mountains makes this setting ideal for a multi-discipline course like the Blue Ridge Adventure Race.  Teams may mountain bike through the Chattahoochee National Forest, canoe the Toccoa River, then run to the finish line on the streets of downtown Blue Ridge.  Other events could include rappelling, kayaking, or orienteering.  Since the course changes every year, teams must train for whatever events might  challenge,  not knowing the course until the day prior to the race.  What suspense!

Of course, if you're not as ambitious as Russ and Davey, you can join the Thomas and Reece team (along with all the other race fans) in Blue Ridge City Park to see who crosses the finish line first.  There'll be live music and plenty of good food; plus, you'll be surrounded by the city's famed antique shops and the springtime beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  We'll all just shop, chat, and sip iced tea while Russ, Davey, and the other competitors do the hard work!

How cool!  Best of luck to your guy! Sounds just like the name implies, "an Adventure!"

That sounds like a fun race.  If I had about 2 years to train, I would have a lot of fun with it!

It really is a serious commitment to train for such a strenuous event.  And the weather here hasn't exactly been cooperative lately, so Russ and Davey have run and biked plenty of miles in the rain!
