“Great news! The Holiday Inn Express of Helen will be the host hotel for the 48th Hogpen Hillclimb 18k and Cool River Tubing 5k. Pre-Race Registration and Packet Pick-up will be held in the Holiday Inn Express’ Conference Room and special room rates are available to all race participants who wish to arrive early and stay for the weekend – but rooms are limited so act now to take advantage of special room pricing.
The Start/Finish line for the 5k and Start for the 18k will still begin at the River Pavilion –which is basically across the street from the Holiday Inn Express if you are unfamiliar with the area.
So, book now and enjoy the weekend in Helen while supporting Habitat For Humanity of NE GA!”
Thank you to all of our 2026 Sponsors. We couldn’t have done it without you!
