| Mud...Football... and AUBURN! It's the Gridiron Trail Rush!
Join the AAC on August 13 at Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers
 Get ready for the 2011 College Come join the Atlanta Auburn Club at the Gridiron Trail Rush on Saturday, August 13. This is an event that is part Warrior Dash - part SEC Tailgate - and a whole lotta fun!
We are looking for a big Auburn Tiger turnout to help kick off this inaugural event in the metro Atlanta area. Best part? Some proceeds from all Auburn entries will be donated back to the Atlanta Auburn Club's 501(c)(3) Roy B. Sewell Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Gridiron Trail Rush is a 5k trail run that takes you through an entry tunnel, creek, hills, mud pit, tires and a whole lot more with an end-zone finish line. And of course - it would not be football without wearing your favorite college colors and enjoy a fabulous after-party. Bring your family and friends to cheer you on, challenge your rivals, and challenge yourself to discover who is #1!!!
Have some fun -- get dirty -- and show everyone what a REAL FAN looks like! WAR EAGLE!!
There are two divisions:
* Varsity division: A more competitive division with a premium shirt and early access to the trail.
* Tailgater division: A fun run challenge with commemorative shirt and later start time to tackle the course.
Date: Saturday, August 13th, 2011
