The Georgia Premier Cross Country Course is home for the MGA Knights Cross Country team. One of the finest courses in the state, Georgia Premier offers running loops of two, three, and five miles, and farther. It boasts certification of distance from cross country sanctioning bodies and has a starting line capacity of over 100 runners.
Located on the edge of the MGA Macon campus, Georgia Premier is easily accessible from I-75, with many lodging and eating establishments within a short drive. It has large, accommodating parking areas and is a very “viewer-friendly” course, offering vantage points at several areas of the course, in addition to a spacious team area for tents and warm-up.
Along with cross country races, Georgia Premier is also used by area schools for training and practice. In addition, the creation and development of a Cyclocross course is underway at Georgia Premier, opening the course to a broader audience and clientele. There are currently five miles of Cyclocross trails available, with a planned 20-plus more to come.
In short, over a few short years the Georgia Premier Cross Country course is becoming a favored location for cross country races for middle and high schools, intercollegiate teams, and civic and area organizations. As the course continues to host running events, and with the addition of Cyclocross, it will be a destination course for cross country enthusiasts on foot or by wheel, serving a broad audience from Central Georgia and beyond.
