Ocoee Whitewater Center
Ocoee River, Ducktown TN
The Big Frog 65 makes its home in the Appalachian foothills of Southeastern Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest. Staging for the race takes place along the banks of the beautiful Ocoee River -- site for the 1996 Olympic Whitewater Events. Our 65 miles of race course traverses the mountain terrain by world class single track and fire roads. Our single track is fast and flowing, but can get tight and technical in spots. Our fire roads are demanding but rewarding with long ascents, fast descents, and spectacular mountain views. Out of the gate the race makes about a 3 mile climb on pavement up highway 64. This warm-up serves as a good field displacer and pole position before entering into the fast and flowey single track for the next 20 miles. Next is an out-and-back trip on beautiful mountain fire-roads. Road texture alternates between hard-pack gravel and smooth moist dirt. Expect tenacious climbs (around 8000ft of elevation gain overall), hundreds of curves, and peaceful mountain streams. Upon return, racers will re-enter the single track for about 9 final miles of the best trails in these mountains.
