Zone 5 Events is hosting the Mountain Madness Triathlon (aka MM II) on Sunday, May 5th, 2013 with race productions being handled by Set Up Events. We want to thank each of the athletes, sponsors and volunteers who joined us for our inaugural race this year and making it such a great success! If you are looking for your next challenge this course has it all!

The race will consist of 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and a 13.1 mile run. The event will take place at Carters Lake, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia very close to Ellijay, GA.

The swim will be held in the clear calm waters of Carters Lake. The bike portion is an out and back course that winds around the lake to Ft. Mountain State Park allowing athletes to experience the beautiful scenery and challenging hills this area has to offer. The run course offers a continuation of the challenging terrain at one of North Georgia's best kept secrets.

Spectators will have an excellent view of the race overlooking both the swim course and transition area from atop the beach area. In addition, the 2-loop run course allows you to cheer your favorite athletes and teammates across the finish line.

This race offers some of the more unique terrain you will find in the southeast region. It is designed for triathletes looking for that next challenge. Push yourself and come experience what makes this half distance triathlon the best in the region.
