Minimalist Saturdays [trail] - Cochran Shoals / Sope Creek

Show up in your Fivefingers, Vivos, RunAmocs, Feelmax, Huaraches, Barefeet, or whatever.

Minimalist Saturdays continues!

This Trail Run will be at the Cochran Shoals / Sope Creek location in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area - mecca for Atlanta trail runners. Surfaces range from medium-to-fine gravel (near the river), rocks (at times jagged), to matted pine needles. Unless you're the hardened barefooter, I'd suggest at least carrying some VFFs. It can be a little crowded along the river, but few people venture up into the Sope Creek Highlands. I plan to run 6-8 miles at an easy 11 min pace.

*Please remember to bring $3 for parking (or annual parking pass)

    Great 7.5 mile run through the woods. Family also enjoyed at nice walk along the river.
