Get Outdoors in Augusta, Georgia
Mention Augusta, Ga., and for many, it immediately invokes visions of well-manicured gardens and green jackets.
While the city is internationally known (and rightfully so) for the Masters Tournament held annually at Augusta National Golf Course in April, it's also developing a name for itself when it comes to outdoor sporting events. Throughout the year, Augusta hosts everything from the Esi Ironman 70.3 Augusta (September) to the Head of the South Rowing Regatta (November) and more. Augusta was also the site for the International Mountain Bicycling Association's 2010 World Summit, and is slated to host the 2012 and 2013 NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Soccer Championships.
And this is only the beginning for Georgia's second-oldest and second-largest city.
Even as the city continues to build up its professional outdoors sports side, don't think for a moment there's nothing for the non-professional types to do.
Quite the opposite.
Whatever your interest may be, whether it's kayaking, mountain biking, hiking or horse backing riding, rest assured that you can enjoy it when you're in Augusta.
