The route was posted to include a section of the Alpharetta High School XC course.
Light up cones were laid out to mark the dark parts of the Black Loop of the XC course which the PAX would navigate. YHC kept the route on the large open parts of the trail to keep things safe and avoid anyone getting lost.
3 PAX converged at the Container Store parking lot, 0530 was called, and we were off.

Prayers:
Thanks given for the many things in the life we "GET" to do...rather than thinking of the things we "have" to do.
Blessings and safety for those traveling this season.
Reminder to cherish the extra time with friends and family this season.
