Got a couple guys on this forum and another one asking about a route. Unless you have another plan, may I suggest this route.
Merge onto I-75 S/GA-401 S toward Atlanta. (go 11.49 miles)
Merge onto I-285 E/GA-407 E via EXIT 259 toward Greenville/Augusta. (go 7.12 miles)
Merge onto US-19 N/GA-400 N via EXIT 27 toward Cumming/Dahlonega. (go 47.24 miles)
Turn sharp left onto US-19 N/GA-60/GA-249/S Chestatee. Continue to follow US-19 N/GA-60/GA-249.
US-19 N is 0.7 miles past Chesterra Dr
If you are on Long Branch Rd and reach Lake Cir you've gone about 0.3 miles too far
(go 5.05 miles)
Turn right onto Morrison Moore Pkwy E/US-19 N/GA-60/GA-52/GA-9. Continue to follow US-19 N/GA-60/GA-9.
US-19 N is 0.2 miles past Mountain Dr
If you reach Thompson Cir you've gone a little too far
(go 4.74 miles)
Turn slight right onto Highway 19 N/US-19 N/GA-60/GA-9.
Highway 19 N is 0.1 miles past Wards Creek Dr
(go 3.27 miles)
Turn right onto Highway 19 N/US-19 N/GA-9. (go 5.28 miles)
Turn left onto Highway 19 N/US-19 N/US-129 N/GA-11. Continue to follow US-19 N/US-129 N/GA-11. (go 10.89 miles)
Turn left onto Wolf Pen Gap Rd/GA-180.
Wolf Pen Gap Rd is 0.4 miles past Vogel State Park Rd
Some awesome switchbacks with camber for the turns on the way up to Three Sisters Mountain. Pit stop at the hikers rest stop for restroom and regroup. From there we continue down to HWY 180 and go thru a portion of Bloodmountain. Suggest to go easy thru the first pass on Bloodmountain.
If you are game or others find this suitable, let's make this the official route.
Thanks
by the way, my sig pic is on Bloodmountain from this February.

Sorry for the late reply!
We will be stopping close to the mountains to fill up on gas!
We have a route, and is somewhat similiar to what you have posted. Spread the word people, this should be a really fun Mountain run!
If you have any questions, send me a message and I will give you my phone number!
