RACE INFORMATION

Frequently Asked
Questions.

Everything you need to know before you arrive at the Mohican MTB 100. Still have a question? Start here.

Registration & Packet Pickup
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 the waiver and bring it with you when you pick up your race packet Friday evening. You can also 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.

Registered racers can also pick up their packet Saturday morning, or have a team member pick it up for them.

Packet pickup and Friday registration are located at Mohican Adventures on State Route 3 in Loudonville.

Can I switch from the 100 Mile to the 100K or vice versa?

Yes. Distance changes must be made no later than packet pickup on Friday evening. No switching is allowed on the morning of the event or during the race.

Race Day & Course
Where will the race begin and end?

The event starts in downtown Loudonville beneath the large banner on Main Street near State Route 3.

The race finishes at Mohican Adventures.

Will there be restrooms near the start?

Yes. Public restrooms are located just a short distance from the race start in downtown Loudonville.

How much of the course is singletrack?

There are more than 50 miles of singletrack on the course.

Do you have a map or course description?

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

What happens if it rains?

If the race course receives days of soaking rain, an Extreme Rain Plan may be used to protect the Mohican State Park and Memorial State Forest trail system.

Under this plan, racers will be routed through trails at Mohican Adventures to connect to State Route 3. Racers will then follow State Route 3 for approximately two miles to County Road 3275, where they will pick up the remainder of the course.

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

Racers are permitted to use a lighting system. However, due to the numerous trails and previous difficulties with racers getting lost in the dark piney woods of the Mohican State Forest, there is an 6:30 PM cutoff at Aid Station 4, the final aid station.

No racer will be allowed to continue after this final cutoff. This is for your own safety.

Are there shuttles to the race start?

No. The race start in downtown Loudonville is approximately one mile from race headquarters and the race finish at Mohican Adventures.

A paved bike path along State Route 3 connects the race finish to the downtown start area.

Aid Stations & Drop Bags
Will there be aid stations?

Yes. There are five aid stations located approximately every 20–25 miles along the course. They will be staffed and stocked with food and water, and each aid station will have communications.

Can I send a drop bag to an aid station?

Yes. 100 Mile racers may have drop bags at Aid Stations 2, 3 and 4. Aid Station 2 drop bags are for 100K racers only. Racers may also send lights to Aid Station 4.

Drop bags will be collected at race headquarters at Mohican Adventures at the start of the race and delivered to their respective aid stations.

Small Hydrapaks are allowed. All bags should be no larger than 2' × 2' and weigh less than 5 pounds.

One-gallon Ziploc bags and markers for labeling will be available at packet pickup for use as drop bags. All drop bags must be clearly labeled with the racer's name and race number.

Since aid stations provide a variety of food and water approximately every 25 miles, you should only need to pack items that are not provided. Typical items might include special foods or drink mixes, spare tubes, parts, tools, extra bike shorts or clothing, and lights for the final aid station.

You can include anything you think you may need as long as the bag meets the size and weight requirements and is clearly labeled. If you include breakable items, it is your responsibility to ensure they are properly padded.

Our Aid Captains and volunteers prefer that you do not place liquids in your bottles. They are heavy and more likely to leak onto other bags. There will be plenty of water at the aid stations, so you can simply place powder in your bottles.

Once the aid stations close, all drop bags will be retrieved and delivered to the race finish area. Racers can pick them up there or the following morning.

Gear & Equipment
What tires do you recommend?

If it's a dry race, you can get away with a light tread at Mohican. We recommend the Kenda Karma, Kenda Small Block Eight, Kenda Saber or Kenda Booster Pro.

The Small Block Eight is lightweight and offers excellent rolling resistance on gravel roads and dry trails. The Karma and Saber are good choices for both wet and dry conditions and are also lightweight.

Looking for a sturdy, lightweight tire with exceptional sidewall protection for the Mohican Rock Gardens? The Kenda Booster Pro is another option.

Can my dog join me in the race?

We love dogs, but unfortunately, due to the number of riders, logistics and vehicle traffic at Mohican during the race, dogs cannot accompany racers on the course.

You're welcome to visit the trail another time to ride alongside your dog.

Camping & Local Information
Where is the best place to camp?

Mohican Adventures offers tent camping, cabins of various sizes and full hook up camping.

Where can I get dinner on Friday?

There are several restaurants in downtown Loudonville and along State Route 3.

McDonald's on State Route 3 is open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday. Other nearby options include Pizza Hut and Trails End Pizza, a sports bar within walking distance of race headquarters. Both are located on State Route 3.

Subway and Taco Bell are located on Main Street. Beano's Buckeye Ballroom, a local sports bar downtown near the traffic light, serves burgers and sandwiches.

The Black Fork Bistro downtown offers a variety of food and draft brews. The Ugly Bunny Winery, just outside town on East Main Street, offers $2 off a pizza when you mention that you're with the Mohican MTB 100.
