The Wimpy Mile
The Wimpy Mile is a one-mile certified running event held in Dahlonega, Georgia on February 13, 2027. The course starts at Hancock Park in downtown Dahlonega and follows Wimpy Mill Road downhill to finish at the Yahoola Creek kayak launch area. The route has a 178 foot drop in elevation from start to finish.
The event is organized by the Dahlonega Sunrise Rotary Club and is presented as a community activity that includes runners, joggers, walkers, families, and participants accompanied by dogs. Costume participation is noted as an option to celebrate February holidays. Awards and other post-race festivities take place back at Hancock Park following the finish.
Practical details include a registration fee of $30.00, registration opening on April 27, 2026 and closing on February 13, 2027. Registrations submitted by February 6, 2027 are guaranteed a T-shirt in the selected size; shirts for later registrants will be available after the event while supplies last. Transportation will be available for participants who choose not to walk the return mile from the finish back to Hancock Park.
The course is certified as one mile and is described as a downhill route with a significant elevation change, a feature noted for its potential to produce faster times for some participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
