Things to Do
Run into a quarry, climb out of it for Quarry Crusher Run in Gwinnett
Quarry Crush Run is your chance to run through Norcross' active rock quarry.
Want to run “Atlanta’s most unique race?” Well...you’ll actually have to go to Norcross.
There, you’ll be able to run into a quarry and climb your way out of it. The second annual Vulcan Materials Quarry Crusher Run will be held May 6 at 8 a.m.
Participants will run down a steep 600-foot slope — average incline 10 percent —into the quarry, run around a track inside and then climb back out of the quarry. The race is 3.7 miles long (or 7.4 for the “double crusher”), but adds the challenge of finishing with a steep journey to the finish line.
The race benefits the Gwinnett County Public Schools Foundation Fund. You can register here. The 3.7 mile run has a $40 registration fee and the 7.4 mile run has a $50 registration fee.
