on 6/2/2012 The Toccoa museum hosted an Inaugural D-Day Run honoring the paratroopers who trained at Camp Toccoa and jumped at Normandy on June 6, 1944, and all soldiers who fought during World War II. The 10K run took participants in the footsteps of the 17,000 men who trained on Currahee Mountain during the war. Nearly 200 entries made the trek - 3 miles up and 3 miles down.
