FAQs

  • If I register online, do I need to mail my forest waiver form?

    No. However, if you plan to register in person on Friday, please print it out and bring it with you when you pick up your race packet Friday evening or you can fill one out when you arrive.

  • Can I register on the day of the event?

    No. You must register before Saturday. However, you can register at packet pickup on Friday. You can also pick up your packet Saturday morning if you are registered or have a team member pick up your packet for you. Packet pickup and Friday registration will be located at Mohican Adventures on State Rt. 3 in Loudonville.

  • Where will the race begin and end?

    The event will start in downtown Loudonville, beneath the large banner located on Main Street, near SR3. The race will finish at Mohican Adventures.

  • Where is the best place to camp?

    Tent camping, for a small fee, is available at Mohican Adventures near packet pickup.

  • Will there be restrooms near the start?

    Yes, there are public restrooms just a stone’s throw from the race start downtown.

  • How much of the course is singletrack?

    There is more than 50 miles of Singletrack.

  • Do you have a map and/or course description available?

    Maps are  posted on this website and all registered racers will receive written course directions and other useful information in a pre-race email. 

  • What about rain?

    Extreme Rain Plan B: If the race course 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.  

  • Will there be aid stations?

    There will be aid stations located approximately every 20-25 miles along the course. They will be staffed and stocked with food and water. Aid stations will have communications as well. 

  • Will I be able to send drop bags to aid stations?

    Racers are permitted to have drops bags at aid stations 2, 3 and 4 (hundred milers only for aid 3). Racers can send lights to aid 4. Drop bags will be collected at race HQ, Mohican Adventures, at the start of the race and delivered to their respective aid station. Small Hydrapaks are allowed, however, ALL bags should be no larger than 2'x 2'and less than 5lbs. Zip lock storage bags will be provided at packet pickup. All drop bags should be clearly labeled with the racers name and race number. Since there will be aid stations providing a variety of food and water approx. every 25 miles, you should only need to include items that are not provided by aid stations. Typical items might include special foods or drink mixes, spare tubes, parts, tools, extra bike shorts/clothing, and lights for the last aid station. You can include anything you think you may need, provided that the bag is not oversized, and it is clearly labeled. If you include items that are breakable, it is your responsibility to ensure that breakable items are properly padded. Our Aid Captains and volunteers would prefer that you do not place liquids in your bottles. They are heavy and more likely to leak all over everyone’s bags. There will be plenty of water at the aid stations so you can simply place powder in your bottles. Once the aid stations are closed, all drop bags will be retrieved from the aid stations and delivered to the race finish area. Racers can pick them up the next morning as well.

  • Will I be able to finish at night if I have lights?

    Due to the numerous trails and previous difficulties with racers getting lost in the dark piney woods of the Mohican State Forest, there will be a cut off time of 8:00pm at aid station 5, the final aid station. Racers are permitted to use a lighting system. However, no racer will be allowed to continue after this final cut off. This is for your own safety.

  • Can I switch from the 100mile to the 100k or vice versa?

    Yes, However, it needs to be done no later than packet pickup on Friday evening. No switching will be allowed on the morning of the event or during the race.

  • Will there be shuttles in the morning to the race start in Loudonville?

    No. The race start in downtown Loudonville is only 1 mile from race headquarters and race finish at Mohican Adventures. A paved bike path along SR3 connects the race finish to the downtown start area.

  • Where can I get dinner on Friday?

    There are several nearby restaurants in the downtown area and along SR3, McDonald's on State Rt. 3 is now open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday. Other restaurants include Pizza Hut and Trails End Pizza that is a sports bar within walking distance of race HQ, both are on SR3. Subway and Taco Bell are located on Main Street. A favorite Local watering hole and sports bar, Beano's Buckeye Ballroom, downtown near the light, serves Burgers and sandwiches. The Black Fork Bistro downtown serves a variety of foods and draft brews. The Ugly Bunny Winery on just out of town on East Main Street is offering $2 off a pizza if you mention that you are with the Mohican MTB100. You can explore othere options here.

  • What tires do you recommend?

    If it’s a dry race, you can get away with light tread at Mohican. We recommend the Kenda Karma, Kenda Small Block Eight, Kenda Saber or Kenda Booster Pro. The SB Eight is lightweight and has excellent rolling resistance on the gravel roads and dry trails! Kenda Karma and Saber are both good choices for wet and dry conditions...also light weight. Looking for a sturdy lightweight tire with exceptional sidewall protection from Mohican Rock Gardens? If so, we recommend the Kenda Booster Pro, the newest tire in the Kenda line up. 

  • Can my dog join me in the race?

    We love dogs, but unfortunatley due to the number of riders, logistics, and vehicle traffic at Mohican for the race, we cannot allow dogs to join you in the race. You're welcome to visit the trail another time to ride alongside your dog.
