WHITESBURG, Ga. -- Chances are, you've never heard of Southern Living's Best Weekend Getaway in Atlanta.

Historic Banning Mills is located 52 miles southwest of Atlanta in Carroll County. It's definitely a "who knew that was here?" spot -- a hidden gem in the little town of Whitesburg.

Every year, 30,000 visitors come to Banning Mills' main lodge -- school groups, families on vacation and corporations on retreats. Couples visit for romantic weekends in the hot tub suites; Banning Mills can handle 100 guests a night in its cabins.

But the main draw zips overhead. Tucked away in the west Georgia hillside is an adventure fantasy land -- the tallest freestanding climbing wall in the world and the longest zip line in the continental U.S.

The zip line canopy trail is nine miles long. To ride the entire thing would take two days.

ATLANTA - This weekend's race calendar includes runs in Norcross, Woodstock, Sandy Springs and Inman Park.

For the last weekend in April, runners can lace up their shoes starting Friday night.

The Atlanta edition of the Vampire 5K kicks off - for both vampires and citizens - Friday night at 7:45 at Six Flags Over Georgia. Racers will be able to pick up packets inside the pavilions underneath the Great American Scream Machine from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Race Day Registration is available for $55 per team or $60 per individual. The race course runs through service roads and parking lots, but also takes a jog through the amusement park itself. For more information, visit Vampire5k.com.
