Mary Charles Howard/Georgia Hi-Lo Trail
After four years of being frustrated with a lack of safe cycling and economic opportunities in her home town, Mary Charles Howard decided to take matters into her own hands. In 2019, she launched the Georgia Hi-Lo Trail initiative.
After seeing the success of Athens’ own Firefly Trail, she decided to build on the great work of that trail by extending Firefly Trail’s original 39-mile trail south another 200 miles with the Georgia Hi-Lo Trail – through Sandersville and beyond – and ending in Savannah, GA.
Upon completion, the Georgia Hi-Lo Trail will be the longest paved trail in all of America.
Join the cause by donating today or poke around their website to learn more about the exciting annual Athens to Savannah Ride and Kids Bike League program.
