About This Event
The Bearhoti Trail Fest offers a multi-distance weekend celebration in Georgia's rugged Cohutta Mountains, part of the Lower Appalachian range. This grassroots event combines challenging mountain terrain with the beauty of one of the Southeast's most pristine wilderness areas. The festival format spans two days, with a Friday evening King/Queen of the Mountain race followed by Saturday's main events, allowing runners to choose a single distance or make a full weekend adventure of it. The Cohuttas provide some of the most beautifully rugged terrain in the Lower Appalachians, featuring significant climbing, technical descents, creek crossings, and remarkable views. Runners will encounter Georgia's largest tulip poplar tree among other natural landmarks. The event emphasizes exploration and enjoyment over pure competition, encouraging participants to take time to appreciate the mountain environment. Organized by Run the Cohuttas, a local grassroots organization, the event maintains an intimate, community-focused atmosphere. The race has moved its start/finish location away from the popular Mulberry Gap Adventure Basecamp, though shuttle services are available for those staying at the basecamp's campsites and cabins.
