A HUGE thank you to Bryan Ellis for sharing his video from his 2025 Twisted Ankle Half Marathon! He also did a race report that you can find at Twisted Ankle Half Marathon Race Report (Sloppy Floyd State Park, GA) - RunBryanRun
Check out his other great race videos on his You Tube Channel and his website at RunBryanRun.com
If you are new to trail running and would like to "get a taste of the trail" (which can be habit forming) try out the 5K -3.1mile (ish). For those who want to test their grit, run the 10-mile (ish) or half marathon (13.1 mile) race up to Becky's Bluff. A special "double the fun" 20 mile distance will be offered for 2026 only with TWO trips up Becky's Bluff by completing the ten mile course twice!
Whether you are a seasoned trail runner looking for an excellent ramp up to the fall race season or looking for a reason to try running in the woods, you will not be disappointed with the Twisted Ankle Trail Races at Sloppy Floyd State Park.
​
All runners will encounter wide trails, some single track and a trip up to Marble Mine. 10-Milers and the half marathoners will hit the heart and soul of the Twisted Ankle Race as they top Becky's Bluff for a short trip on the Pinhoti Trail. Those who are game to take on the 20 mile double get to do it twice. Rocks and roots included.
​
Sloppy Floyd State Park is located in the beautiful foothills of Northwest Georgia. The park showcases 561 acres and two lakes that total 51 acres. You will find 25 tent/trailer/RV sites, 4 cabins, and 4 back country sites along with fishing, kayak and paddleboat rentals, and monthly activities.
