Georgia TT Endurance Challenge

The event offers five distance categories to suit different endurance goals: 100-Mile, 6-Hour, 12-Hour, 24-Hour, and 500-Mile events. You can compete as a solo rider or join a team (2x through 8x teams available), with categories organized by gender and 5-year age groups across all bike types.

The Georgia TT Endurance Challenge features virtually flat terrain on low-traffic, truck-free roads through rural South Georgia. The main 30-mile loop departs from New Ebenezer Retreat Center, extends to the town of Clyo, and returns via peaceful routes. For 24-hour competitors, a dedicated 6-mile night loop keeps you within 3 miles of start-finish, eliminating navigation stress during extended efforts.

Yes—the flat, low-traffic course design makes it accessible for riders building endurance miles, while the time-trial format allows you to ride at your own pace. Start with the 100-Mile or 6-Hour format to gauge your capabilities, then progress to longer events as your ultracycling fitness develops.

As a time-trial endurance event, individual start times and accurate lap tracking are critical to your performance. For specific details on staggered start intervals, timing chip procedures, and how your individual effort will be recorded, check the event website or contact the organizers directly.

The event welcomes all bike types and categories, so road bikes, gravel bikes, and other setups are permitted. For extended endurance riding in South Georgia's late-summer conditions, ensure your bike is well-maintained, bring adequate hydration and nutrition support, and verify any specific UCI or event-sanctioned equipment rules by visiting the registration page.

The 6-mile night loop ensures you stay within 3 miles of start-finish, minimizing navigation complexity in darkness and allowing easy access to support. The course features a large traffic circle and a 3-lane wide dead-end with only two simple turns, reducing cognitive load during fatigued hours. Plan for adequate lighting, night-riding visibility gear, and coordinate crew support at New Ebenezer Retreat Center.
