The Georgia International Horse Park is well known for its equestrian events, but it was also home to the 1996 Olympics Mountain Bike trail, and is still in use for racing purposes today.

The 24 Hours of Georgia Mountain Bike race was just the latest race to call the International Horse Park Home on Oct. 8.

The competition featured 315 racers from nine different states, stretching as far as Oregon to the host state Georgia. Around 83 percent of the racers were from Georgia.

According to Daniel Digby of the Conyers Downtown Development Authority, there were around 700 spectators at the race in Conyers. But race watchers weren't the only thing coming into the Rockdale County; Digby estimated the race brought in an estimated $70-100,000 to the local economy.

The promoters who put on 24 Hours of Georgia will also be hosting a 10K/5K Trail running race at the Georgia International Horse Park on March 17.
