Race Information
GEER, or Great Eastern Endurance Run, is BACK after a long absence. Sherando Lake has been closed to events, but reopens for GEER. This beloved ultra boasts one of the most scenic courses on the East Coast and is a must-do event. The stunning course in the Blue Ridge Mountains makes it one of the most beautiful races in the USA. GEER includes three distances: 40 miles, 20 miles and 10 miles. The course is all single track trail and jeep roads with very little pavement around the Sherando Lake Recreation Area.
