Welcome to our newest endurance event. The Cherokee 70K and 130K is an ultra trail event that takes you through scenic mountains of the Cherokee National Forest for an adventure you will never forget. For the 70K you will climb over 10,000 feet of elevation gain while the 130k will climb over 19,000 feet of elevation gain as both distances discover… Waucheesi ain’t easy. Utilizing some of the most scenic views and technical trails in the Southern Cherokee National Forest.
As we created this event the name was extremely important to us. Several ideas were discussed, but one kept standing out to show case the multiple aspects of this beautiful and historic area. These lands have a significant meaning and a deep history that should not be forgotten, it should be respected and honored. So… we chose “The Cherokee” as it represents the area (The Cherokee National Forest) and to honor the Cherokee people and ancestors who have such a significant history to the area!
With this being a true mountain ultra you are required to complete a 50k or greater in the last 18 months. We will accept most 50ks, please keep in mind this is a technical and difficult mountain event.
