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.
[4f628509-c9b5-4bef-82aa-a219c07af936.png]
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.
[9816aa47-8719-443d-b627-d908f199e49f.JPG]
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.
[Screenshot 2025-06-25 153452.png]
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.
[Screenshot 2025-06-25 151735.png]
Every penny we make goes right back into trail construction and maintenance.
Registration opens December 1, 2025:
TINY-Toona: $25 through June 17 (cheap fun!)
ALL & HALF-a-Toona:
$65 Holiday Season and New Year's Resolution Super Early Bird (Dec 1–Jan 11)
$75 Early Bird (Jan 12–May 17)
$85 (May 18–June 17)
Register by June 8 to guarantee your shirt size.
There will be NO day-of registration.
GET INVOLVED
Don’t wanna or can't ride? Be a legend anyway. We need lots of VOLUN-Tooners (volunteers) — course marshals, registration wizards, aid station heroes, and people who know how to hold a flag, shout, and park cars.
Please register above! Questions? Reach out to:
