 | |  | |  | |  |
 | |  | |  | |  |
Race Information and
Details:
The 2008 Cohutta 100 will be on Saturday April
19th. The 100 and 35 mile events will remain
unchanged from previous runnings. The 100
will again be the first race in the National Ultra
Endurance (N.U.E.) Mountain Bike Series. New
for 2008 will be the addition of a 65 mile race.
This will be the same single track as the other
races with a key hole forest service road loop
that will take in Big Frog Mountain. 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 is available at
Sports Base Online. The 100 miler is limited to 200 riders.
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.
AWARDS: Handcrafted awards will be given to the first 10
male finishers, the first 8 female finishers and the first 5
single speed finishers in the 100 miler. The top 5 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, 4th-$100, 5th-$50. Women: 1st-$250, 2nd-$125,
3rd-$75)
START TIMES: The 100 will start at 7:00AM. The 65 will start
at 7:15AM and the 35 will start at 7:30AM. 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 35 or 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.
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

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
