DISCOVER THE TITAN IN YOU
3 days | 310 miles | Over 30,000 ft. elevation
Welcome to the ROAD TITANS 300+ Cycling Challenge, a three-day fully supported premiere cycling adventure and a professional-like experience like no other, designed to defy the limits of endurance with a road course in one of National Geographic’s “Destinations of a Lifetime”, Oconee County, South Carolina.
THE EVENT:
ROAD TITANS 300+ combines one of the most ambitious professional-like cycling experiences south of the Mason-Dixon Line with the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding locale.
ROAD TITANS 300+ is not a race, but a battle to overcome the voices within – an opportunity to defeat them hand in hand with will power, determination, and unswayable perseverance, traversing 100+ miles each day.
THE HOST CITY:
National Geographic named Jocassee Gorges in South Carolina’s Oconee County one of “50 of the World’s Last Great Places – Destinations of a Lifetime” in 2012.
South Carolina’s Oconee County, which takes its name from a Cherokee word meaning “land beside the water”, will host this extraordinary event, offering cyclists over 300 miles of ever-changing landscapes.
Oconee’s roads weave past some of the tallest waterfalls in the state and flank steep gorges, vast lakes, creeks, and rivers –including the mighty Chattooga– not to mention the native wildlife at every turn.

ROAD TITANS 300+ Challenge Overview
ROAD TITANS 300+ Official Route 2015
Sweating has never been so exhilarating. Push yourself beyond your limits up mountains, cruising through spectacular landscapes and riding past waterfalls, rivers, and lakes… It is a tough 300+ mile route, but nothing short of spectacular.
A 300+ mile route has been charted to create a race-like experience for riders.
Participants – three clusters of fast-paced cyclists will complete 100+ miles each day, allowing them to attest to their athletic capabilities.
The group of participating cyclists will be divided into three Pelotons: Elite, Advanced, and Intermediate. Traveling as an integrated unit, each Peloton will follow a predetermined speed and pace.

On the flats, pulls up to 30+ mph.
Advanced endurance athletes

*On the flats, pulls up to 25+ mph.

*These speeds may vary depending on weather conditions, terrain, and your athletic capabilities.
Leaders of the Pack
To assist in achieving a good flow at all times, each Peloton will be led by appointed local cyclists, who will be responsible for keeping the speed and pace of their Peloton.
They will also be in charge of keeping their pack inside the assigned road lane and following the predetermined route.
ROAD TITANS 300+ Scoring and Awards
To increase the competitive aspect of the event, each day will include a King of the Mountain (KOM) zone, in which Pelotons will ride a specified area and compete for points, scored by chip timing.
Scoring– The fastest three cyclists across the KOM finish lines win 1, 2, or 3 points according to their finishing times.
Awards – At the culmination of ROAD TITANS 300+, the riders with the most points in their respective categories/Pelotons will be awarded the Cronus Achievement medal (in Greek mythology, Cronus was the leader of the TITANS). Cronus winners will receive a complimentary entry into next year’s event, while the winner from Peloton Elite will receive a cash payout of $1000 and the Road Titan 300 helmet, an honor fit for an immortal.
The Road Titan 300 Helmet
As the King of the Mountain (fastest overall Titan), you’ve shown the grit and endurance only known to a few. You led an army of Titans; now be proud to show off your unbeatable spirit with the Road Titan 300 helmet as a testament to your sheer determination and cycling prowess. In the toughest battles, a helmet such as this not only spared the head of a brave man from fiery arrows and spears, but it transformed him into a symbol of power and indomitable, nearly-immortal might.
