Run into a quarry, climb out of it for Quarry Crusher Run in Gwinnett

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.
