Report

I was in the area to crew a friend at the Georgia Death Race, so I decided to take a crack at this classic north Georgia loop. I ran the loop in 1:48:14, missing Run Bum's FKT by 2 mins 15 secs. I'm posting my splits and GPS data to provide beta for those that might be interested in attempting this FKT (see below). Good luck!
