This was my first Mohican 100k. It was amazing. I have completed several Ironman, dozens half Ironman and American TTT. Hands down the most mentally and physically thing I have ever done. The course came at you the whole time. I can't wait to do it again.

I did the Mohican 100k version (this was my 4th time) and it never ceases to amaze. Lots of amazing single track with some time on gravel and paved roads. This will challenge you, a few very steep hike a bike sections and a nice decent with water bars to challenge your skill.

Extreme Rain Plan B: If the racecourse should ever receive days of soaking rains, to protect the Mohican State Park/Memorial State Forest trail system, Racers will be routed through trails at Mohican Adventures to connect to SR3 then follow SR3 for about two miles to County Road 3275 where racers will pick up the remainder of the course.  

Course changes may occur between now and race day.

The MTB100 and 100k are both a full loop course that connects many public and private properties. Nearly all of the private property trails are strictly off limit to the public, other than on race day. Please respect the rights of private property owners and do not poach private trails. Long live the Mohican MTB100.

Note to racers regarding horses on the Blue Trail:
Horses may be traveling along a short section of the Blue Trail from the end of the snowmobile trail, crossing SR97 to CR3234, about five miles past aid station one. Although notices have been put up requesting that they avoid this section of trail until 1pm, this is a public horse trail. If you encounter a horse, YOU MUST, stop and walk your bike or pull your bike off the trail to allow them to pass. Horses often view moving bicycles as predators and can panic, causing a real danger to the rider! Be sure to talk to the horseman as you approach and as they pass since this will help put the horses at ease. If an incident occurs because of your neglect of this rule, you may be disqualified.

 

Facilities: Conference Center/Campground with full hookups available and plenty of primitive camping and local motels nearby. Private hot showers near the finish line.

 

Massage Services may be available at the finish line inside the Conference center for just $1 per minute. Offering specific massage modalities like sports massage, deep tissue, Swedish
