 | |  | |  | |  |
 | |  | |  | |  |
Race Information and The 2009
Cohutta 100 will be on Saturday April 25th. The
100 mile and the Big Frog 65 mile will be
unchanged. We will not be offering a 35 mile
option in 2009. Cohutta will be the first race in
the National Ultra Endurance (N.U.E.) Mountain
Bike Series. See the course page for all the
details
HOW TO REGISTER: Registration can be mailed using the
form. Mail forms to New Leaf Adventures, 96 Craig Street
Ste 112-301; East Ellijay, Georgia 30540. The cost is posted
on the flier. Online registration will be available at Sports
Base Online.
WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE ENTRY FEE: Entry fee covers
the significant overhead, promotion, six fully stocked aid
stations, shirts, post race meal, finishers awards and
division awards.
START TIMES: The 100 will start at 7:00AM. The big frog 65
will start at 7:15AM. All races will start at the WWC near the
welcome center. The WWC is located on hwy 64 in
Copperhill Tennessee.
COURSE CUT OFF: The Cohutta 100 is a mix of fast moving
rolling terrain and big climbs. There is significant elevation
change throughout the course. There are about 35+ miles
of single track and the remainder is forest service roads.
(Very beautiful, scenic route) There is a cut off of 12 hours
for this event. If you have doubts about your chances of
finishing the event in 12 hours, we suggest you try the 65
mile race first. We have a firm cut off of 11. hours to be at
aid station #6. If a rider is not at the last aid station by the
11 hour mark they will have the choice of removing their
number and finishing on their own or receiving a dot on
the number and taking a 10 mile short cut. The short cut
will be reflected in the finish time but riders will receive a
time and finisher status. This is for your safety. The last
section has some significant single track and is difficult to
ride in the dark. The race organization can't offer any
support or removal at this point of the course and we don't
have a venue that will allow unlimited amount of time at the
start/finish. We will make every effort to keep the finish
line open as long as possible for anyone able to finish. The
loop of the Cohuttas on the FS roads is sagged by race
support in case of mechanical / medical issues. Race
officials will monitor the race course. Food service and
finish line timing will END at 7:15pm.
AWARDS: Handcrafted awards will be given to the first 10
male finishers, the first 10 female finishers and the first 10
single speed finishers in the 100 miler. The top 10 master
male and female 50+ will receive an award. There will be a
cash award to the top five males and the top three females
in the 100-mile. (Men: 1st-$500, 2nd-$375, 3rd-$200,
