The Firefly Trail is a community-driven rail-trail in progress. When complete, it will stretch about 39 miles between Union Point and Athens, Ga., connecting three counties and seven towns with a wide, paved, off-road path for walking, running, cycling and rolling that celebrates the historic corridor of the Georgia Railroad Athens Branch, the state’s first chartered railroad.
Firefly Trail Inc. is the non-profit partner of the 2021 Athens Orthopedic Clinic Twilight Criterium, Saturday, Aug. 21, in downtown Athens. That means some great things for the Firefly Trail and great opportunities for you to support the trail and the Twilight!
Volunteers are needed for a wide variety of roles, from loading equipment trucks on Thursday, to helping with registration Friday and Saturday, to checking out volunteers and media after the race on Saturday night. Many positions require no heavy lifting. You get to be behind-the-scenes at one of the biggest cycling events in the nation! How cool is that? Even better -- for every 4-hour shift you volunteer, Twilight will donate $50 to support our work to finish the Firefly Trail! Signing up is easy: Just go to https://www.bikereg.com/athens-twilight-volunteers and choose the position that's a good fit for you. And invite your family and friends to volunteer, too! Be sure to name "Firefly Trail" in the Club field before you click Submit. Thank you! We hope to see you at the Twilight!
