Description: The Cohutta Races are an annual endurance mountain bike race series located in Tennessee consisting of the Cohutta 100, the Big Frog 65 and the Old Copper 30.
From mountain vistas to majestic waterfalls, from flowing singletrack to soul-sucking climbs, the Cohutta 100 has it all! For more than a decade, the Cohutta 100 has been a staple on the endurance mountain bike scene. Hundreds of determined racers from around the world gather each year in the Cherokee National Forest to test their physical ability and mental fortitude on challenging singletrack and demanding forest service roads! Over 12,000 ft of elevation gain awaits your arrival! Are you ready?
The Big Frog 65 has been a southeastern favorite for years. With a higher ratio of climbing per mile, it is merely shorter than the Cohutta 100, but it isn’t less challenging. Racers will enjoy the same mountain views and fast descents from the singletrack through the Cherokee National Forest as the Cohutta 100, but the gravel road section is slightly different. Don’t consider this a walk in the park! Bring your fitness and fortitude! We’ll bring the fatigue!
Nestled against the rabid waters of the beautiful Ocoee River, the Old Copper 30 mountain bike race course is almost completely contained on the amazing singletrack of the beautiful Cherokee National Forest. The Old Copper 30 participants will enjoy wooded and flowing singletrack, challenging climbs, fast descents, and just enough fire roads to catch your breath as you prepare for the next section of trail. It’s the perfect challenge! But rest assured…it IS a challenge!
