If you have reserved a shuttle space, you'll need to arrive at Mulberry Gap no later than 1:00pm on the day prior to your start. We'll depart as one group and head towards Clayton, GA, about 2.5 hours away. We have reserved a block of rooms for everyone. You'll need to sign up for both services ahead of time.

Shuttle cost to the start is $85.00 per person.

Hotel cost is $90.00 per person for a shared space or $135.00 for a private space.

This service should be reserved in advance through our registration to avoid confusion on our end as to whether or not we are responsible for you. If you're unsure at the time of support sign up, we ask that you notify us 7 days out. Should your plans change while you're on the route, please give us as much notice as possible. 

• Pre-booking shuttles for start & finish or drop out point = $175.00 

• Shuttle to the start only = $85.00

• Shuttle for finish or drop out point only = $115.00

Shuttle pick up at the finish will be on a roughly 8 hour rotation after the leader rolls through. We will end the 6-8 hour rotation once it no longer makes sense for us to burn up the highway. If you are towards the back of the pack, we will try our best to pick you up as close to your finishing time as possible, however, we cannot guarantee that your finish time matches our available pick up time based on driver availability.

FINISH: Please give us a call when you are 3-4 hours out from your estimated finish time.  

DROP OUT POINT: Should you choose to drop out of the event, please give us a call and inform a staff member of your whereabouts so we can determine the best pick up time and location for you. Your wait time for the shuttle will depend on distance and accessibility from Mulberry Gap along with staff availability.

Mulberry Gap will not be policing activities but please follow all rules of the ride so as not to risk disqualification. If clarification is needed, contact the race director, Jeff Williams at tngarace@gmail.com. This topic, and others, is addressed in the official rule book.

Unfortunately, we can no longer offer this option. As the race has continued to grow, our staff and resources are stretched too thin and coordinating this service with our new shuttle schedule will be too difficult. 

For your safety, be sure to consider how tired you will be at the end and make arrangements to rest somewhere before driving any distance.

Not necessarily. We would like to know of your intention to do so, however, we realize that circumstances surrounding this ride are unpredictable and we are flexible during this event. If there is space we'll happily get you a space. 

Yes! We welcome anyone who wants to stay and ask that they make a reservation to do so in advance (cabin or camping).
