Lace up for an inspiring journey at The Sparrow, a timed-event trail race set to unfold on February 7, 2026, in scenic Griffin, GA. Hosted by Revolution Running, this event offers both 6-hour and 3-hour challenges on an approximately 2-mile loop of smooth, rolling single-track trail, mostly groomed and winding around a picturesque lake. The course, with an elevation rating of "rolling, ~2500 feet in 50 miles," provides an accessible yet engaging experience for runners.

The Sparrow is more than just a race; it's a testament to perseverance, drawing its inspiration from the Latin phrase "dum spiro, spero" – "While I breathe, I hope." This theme of hope and continuous progress is woven into the event, particularly apt for a looped race where every lap builds strength and determination. Typical race day conditions in early February in Griffin, GA, feature pleasant highs around 58°F and lows near 35°F, with a low 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal cool-weather running. A central aid station provides typical ultra-running fare, with efforts made to accommodate various dietary preferences, and participants are welcome to set up their own personal aid areas.

Adding to its unique charm, The Sparrow features staggered start times – the 6-hour race begins at 8 AM and the 3-hour race at 11 AM – ensuring all participants can share in the collective finish line energy. All registrants receive a commemorative Sparrow t-shirt, and those who achieve over 50K in the 6-hour race or 25K in the 3-hour race earn a raffle ticket for sponsor prizes. Revolution Running is dedicated to providing an exceptional runner experience on well-crafted courses, and The Sparrow, held at its new, more scenic lakeside location at 287 Jordan Hill Rd, Griffin, GA, promises a memorable day of trail running and personal triumph.
