Unleash the Madness at Voodoo 26
The Ultimate Proving Ground at Allatoona Creek Park
Every ounce of effort you put into the trails during Voodoo serves a greater purpose. The entire event is managed by "VOLUN-Tooners" - a dedicated crew of volunteers who live and breathe trail culture. Every penny raised from this circus of sweat is funneled directly back into the building and maintenance of the very trails you'll be shredding. When you race Voodoo, you're not just crossing a finish line; you're investing in the future of Georgia mountain biking.
What to Expect
- Adrenaline-Fueled Trails - Experience the flow, technical features, and heart-pounding descents of the expansive Allatoona Creek Park system.
- The "Voodoo Love" - Join a high-energy atmosphere surrounded by a community of riders who live for the dirt and the post-race celebration.
- Varying Skill Levels - Choose your battle, from the masochistic endurance of the full course to the family-friendly vibes of the mini-loop.

Choose Your Challenge
With three distinct distances, Voodoo ensures that every rider finds their perfect rhythm. From the grueling endurance of the full loop to the high-vibes of the mini, here is how the dirt breaks down:
| Course Name | Distance | Target Rider |
|---|---|---|
| ALL-a-Toona | 40+ Miles | Expert / Endurance Junkies |
| HALF-a-Toona | Mid-Distance | Intermediate / Sport Riders |
| MINI-Toona | Short Loop | Beginners / Families / Good Vibes |
The ALL-a-Toona is the ultimate test of "guts and glutes," covering over 40 miles of leg-burning glory across the entire trail system. This is your proving ground. For those who want a solid challenge without the full "pain buffet," the HALF-a-Toona offers a technical and physical test that still packs a punch. The newest addition, the MINI-Toona, focuses on the fun side of mountain biking. It is the perfect entry point for first-timers and families who want to be part of the party, finish under the same banner, and hear the same cheers without going twelve rounds with a bear.

What type of mountain bike is best for this course?
A cross-country or short-travel trail bike is the ideal weapon for these fast, undulating trails. We recommend a setup with fast-rolling tires to handle the flowy sections while maintaining enough grip for the technical climbs and descents.

Can spectators watch the race and join the festivities?
