The race is a 384-mile self-supported race from Destin, Florida to Castle Rock, Georgia. Unlike other races, the route is not published, and runners find out the course just moments before the race. Gina's first ultra race was the Heart of the South, and she went on to complete the Vol State race as well. She faced challenges such as extreme heat, lack of sleep, and hallucinations, but she never gave up and pushed through to the finish line.
