ABOUT
Cobb County PARKS and MTB Atlanta are unleashing the madness once again with the 11th Annual Voodoo Mountain Bike Race at Allatoona Creek Park — Georgia’s largest purpose-built mountain bike trail system. If you’ve got guts (and glutes), the ALL-a-Toona is your proving ground: 40+ miles of leg-burning glory against some of the nation's best racers. Want something just as fun but less masochistic? The HALF-a-Toona is for you — still a solid challenge, just without the full pain buffet.
And new for 2026: the TINY-Toona! This one’s all about good vibes and enjoying being part of the MTB community. Perfect for kids, families, first-timers, and anyone who wants to be part of the party without feeling like they’ve gone twelve rounds with a bear. You’ll finish under the same banner, hear the same cheers, and feel the same Voodoo love.

Cobb County PARKS staff, led by Program Coordinator Candace Cook, and a dedicated team of MTB Atlanta volunteers ensure every penny we make from this circus of sweat goes right back into supporting the trails and MTB community.
PRIZES
Want the crown? You gotta earn it. Only the fastest ALL-a-Toona man and woman gets to wear the handcrafted royal headgear by local legend Ed Baltes. And yes — they each will pocket a nice chunk of $3,500.00 in cash and a healthy dose of eternal trail cred.
-
First place ALL-a-Toona male and female (the King and Queen): $1,000.00 each
-
Second place ALL-a-Toona male and female: $500.00 each
-
Third place ALL-a-Toona male and female: $250.00 each
We’ve also got sweet prizes from our sponsors for top finishers in every category, plus a prize drawing for every participant. Just don’t ghost the awards ceremony; you must be present to win.
ROUTES
We’re still dialing in the 2026 routes, but you can expect races full of flowy singletrack, punchy climbs, technical rocks/roots, and various other bits of trail drama. Each route offers its own flavor of fun (or suffering, depending on your conditioning).
ALL-a-Tooners will dance with the most difficult trails like Red Baron, Voodoo, and Hocus Pocus. The HALF keeps the thrills with fewer chills. Our TINY-Toona fun ride is pure good-time energy — great for kids, families, complete newbies, comeback riders, and those mostly here for the after-party.
Check mtbatlanta.com for trail details, pre-ride, and remember: walking a feature is pro-level self-preservation. Expect the unexpected. Routes may change up until race day.
The 2025 race routes can be found in the maps section below. Multiple aid stations will be startegically positioned on the course, and medically trained course marshals will sweep all races/rides.

EVENT DETAILS
Rain or shine, the Voodoo rolls — unless the Land Manager determines conditions are way too dangerous. Trails are normally closed when wet at Allatoona, so always check mtbatlanta.com for current status before heading out.
Start times:
-
ALL-a-Toona: 8:00 am (no excuses, be there)
-
HALF-a-Toona: 8:40 am (so you can help us say goodbye to the ALL-a-Tooners)
-
TINY-Toona: 9:30 am (all joy, no pressure)
Event support ends at 2:00 pm. If you’re still on course, that’s cool — just be self-sufficient.
Helmets: Required. Period.

FOOD & HOSPITALITY
Burn through thousands of calories racing and then gain them all back with a picnic lunch featuring burgers, hot dogs, cookies, chips, and cold drinks. You might be too tired to chew but too hungry to stop. Guests can eat too, but it wouldn't hurt if you chip in a few bucks.
ON-SITE CAMPING
Make it a mini-vacation. For a small donation, camp on-site Thursday and Friday. Sleep under the stars and pre-ride the trails. Camping spots are assigned during registration and spaces are limited, so register early to lock yours in. No power or water hookups, but porta-potties will be available.
COST & REGISTRATION DEADLINES
We only have 350 spots for the combined ALL-a-Toona and HALF-a-Toona races. We repeat: THREE. HUNDRED. FIFTY. There are no guarantees that the field limit can or will be expanded. The last two years have sold out. No crying.
There are no participation limits for the TINY-Toona fun ride.

ABOUT
[IMG_8539.JPEG]
Cobb County PARKS and the North Georgia Mountain Bike Association (NGMBA) invite you to celebrate the longest days of the year at the 12th Annual Voodoo Mountain Bike Race at Allatoona Creek Park—Georgia's largest purpose-built mountain bike trail system.
Held near the Summer Solstice, Voodoo has become an annual tradition that brings the Southeast's mountain bike community together to welcome summer the best way we know how: riding bikes, telling stories, and making questionable decisions deep into a race that's delightfully longer than it needs to be.
The days are long, the trails are fast, and summer is just getting started.
Whether you're chasing the podium, chasing your riding buddies, or just chasing an excuse to spend a weekend at the trails, Voodoo has a ride for you.
The ALL-a-Toona serves up more than 40 miles of twisting singletrack and attracts some of the nation's fastest XC racers. If you've ever wondered what your legs, lungs, and mental toughness are really made of, here's your chance to find out.
[d0a4edb4-30c9-45ef-b3cc-0a51b43f4aa2.png]
Looking for a challenge that's slightly less likely to have you questioning your life choices? The HALF-a-Toona delivers plenty of technical trail, fast racing, and bragging rights while leaving a little more gas in the tank for the post-race festivities.
Not interested in suffering for several hours? The TINY-Toona is all about fun, community, and good vibes. It's perfect for kids, families, first-timers, comeback riders, and anyone who wants to be part of the action without spending several hours wondering if the course is somehow getting longer. You'll cross the same finish line, hear the same cheers, and get the same Voodoo love.
Cobb County PARKS staff, led by Program Coordinator Candace Cook, along with the crew at NGMBA and an army of NGMBA volunteers, make this whole circus possible. Every dollar raised goes right back into trail construction, maintenance, and supporting mountain biking opportunities throughout the community.
PRIZES
[56254532-11b8-4752-8ad5-d88d3a1338c3.jpg]
The Voodoo crown isn't given—it's earned.
The fastest male and female riders in the ALL-a-Toona will be crowned Voodoo King and Queen and receive handcrafted royal headgear created by local legend Ed Baltes, along with a share of the event's cash purse (to be announced).
Top finishers across multiple categories will receive prizes from our sponsors. Every participant is entered into post-race prize drawings. Just don’t disappear before the awards ceremony—you must be present to claim drawing prizes.
ROUTES
We're still putting the finishing touches on the race routes, but expect a mix of flow, speed, rocks, roots, punchy climbs, and a few moments where your bike handling skills may get an honest performance review.
Taking place near the Summer Solstice means long daylight, peak summer conditions, and maximum time to enjoy the trails.
ALL-a-Tooners will tackle some of Allatoona Creek's most notorious trail segments, including Red Baron, Voodoo, and Hocus Pocus. The HALF-a-Toona delivers many of the same thrills in a shorter, slightly more forgiving format.
The TINY-Toona is pure fun. It’s a great introduction to the event for families, young riders, beginners, returning riders, and anyone looking for a relaxed introduction to race day.
Visit ngmba.org for trail information and pre-ride opportunities. Conditions may require route adjustments up until race day—walking a feature is still considered a valid survival strategy.
Race route maps can be found in the Maps section below.

Please remember that Allatoona Creek Park trails are typically closed when wet. Riders should always check ngmba.org for current trail status before traveling to the park.
Start Times:
-
ALL-a-Toona: 8:00 AM
-
HALF-a-Toona: 8:40 AM

FOOD & HOSPITALITY
After burning through a respectable number of calories, stick around for burgers, hot dogs, chips, cookies, cold drinks, and the traditional post-race debate about where everything started going wrong.
Nothing says summer quite like finding some shade, swapping trail stories, and calling it a day with friends.
Guests are welcome to join the meal as well. Donations to help offset food costs are always appreciated.
ON-SITE CAMPING
Turn race weekend into a full Summer Solstice experience by camping on-site Thursday and Friday nights. Extra daylight means more time to pre-ride, more time to hang out, and more time to convince yourself tomorrow’s race will feel easier than it actually will.
Camping locations are assigned during registration and space is limited—register early.
No power. No water hookups. But… Portable restrooms will be available.
COST & REGISTRATION DEADLINES
The combined ALL-a-Toona and HALF-a-Toona field is limited to 350 riders.
The race sells out every year, and there is no guarantee that additional capacity will be available once registration reaches the limit.
The TINY-Toona has no participation cap.
As always, every dollar raised is reinvested into trail construction, maintenance, and mountain biking opportunities.
Registration Opens December 1, 2026

GET INVOLVED
