RACE DESCRIPTION:

For 23 years, The Mohican Trail 100 Mile Run, often referred to as the MO100, has become one of the nation’s premier ultra-marathons. Home of the first ever USATF Ultra Running Championship in 2005, Mohican is reportedly the fifth oldest ultra-running race in the USA.

Traverse 95% Trail along a challenging course winding its way through the lush 5000 acre Mohican Memorial State Forest. Along with the 100, The Mohican 50-Mile and Marathon distances have become increasingly popular, offering runners a taste of the whole enchilada. Rest assured is that whatever distance you choose, Mohican volunteers will be there to help you complete your journey.

Ask a Mohican finisher and you will find that Mohican volunteers have become re-known for the level of personal service offered to MO’s hopeful runners. As you run, you will be following in the foot-steps of many legendary MO Runners who have taken the Mohican Challenge, including famed Caballo Blanco of the national bestseller “Born to Run” who completed the Mohican 50 as one of the final races in his much celebrated life journey. Take the first step toward your Mohican journey by entering or volunteering today!   

The Mohican Trail 100 is a qualifier for the North Face Ultra-Trail Du Mont-Blanc in France http://www.ultratrailmb.com/accueil.php

Mohican is also the second stop of the second annual Midwest Grand Slam http://www.midwestslam.com/

Whether you are an experienced ultra-marathoner or just looking for your first off-road Marathon, 50 mile or 100 mile race, MO should be on YOUR Must-Do list.
