The 2010 Cohutta 100 and Big Frog 65 will be on April

N.U.E. Mountain Bike Series. We are working on a new
web site so more information is coming. Until then,
see the race flyer below.
Flyer
New this year will be former winner and pro Chris
Eatough’s Training Plan for Cohutta 100
Below is the basic race info that is unchanged.
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 is open at
SportsBase Online.
WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE ENTRY FEE: Entry fee covers
the significant overhead, promotion, six fully stocked aid
stations, t-shirts, post race meal and 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.
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 13 hours
for this event. If you have doubts about your chances of
finishing the event in 13 hours, we suggest you try the 65
mile race first. We have a firm cut off of 12 hours to be at
aid station #6. If a rider is not at the last aid station by the
12 hour mark they will be pulled out of the race, number
removed and will not get a place of finish/time. 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.
NO VEHICLES ALLOWED ON THE COURSE: Other than
official race vehicles. This is for the safety of all riders in
the event. This is strictly enforced.
RACE DROPS FOR THE 100: Each participant will receive
three one-gallon zip lock bags to place items into for aid
station drops. NO MORE THAN 3 PER PERSON. Items must
fit into these bags or they don’t go. This includes lights if
necessary. (Remember, race course closes at 8pm.) ALL
ITEMS MUST BE DROPPED OFF BY 9PM ON FRIDAY APRIL
18th. NO ITEMS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON RACE DAY. All
items will be returned to the Finish line as soon as an aid
station closes. All items should be back at the finish line
area around 8:00pm race day. Items will be coming back on
the sweep vehicle. We are NOT responsible for lost
articles. Please double check your drop bags to make sure
your race number is on the bag. Also any items left after
the race will be mailed at the rider’s expense. Mailing fee
must be prepaid.
AID STATIONS: There are six on the course, roughly 15
miles apart. Many wonderful people from around the area
organize each aid station. These people make a race.
Please know that they are volunteers and are there for
you. Their job is to get you in and out as efficiently as
possible. You will be asked to vote on your favorite aid
station at the end of your race. Please vote as the winning
station will receive a cash prize. We will acknowledge all
aid stations at the finish of the event. Your ballots will be
located at the finish line near the awards. We will have
food and fluids at each aid station. We strongly encourage
you to use your own nutritional aids as your main source
and ours as a back up. We may not have what you are
accustomed to using for nutrition.
