NOMBS, Cleveland Area Mountain Bike Association, & Shenanigans Jr Cycling are proud to present the 2026 Ohio State MTB Championship Race at West Branch State Park!

In 2025 West Branch saw a major expansion of the MTB trails, with the effort led by Mike Ryba, CAMBA, and ODNR. Mike has been the driving force behind so many NE Ohio trails for 25 years. What better way to celebrate these milestones than to host a race!

Camping & Pratice Laps:

- Group campfire Friday and Saturday evening.

Race day Schedule:

!!!!!!!Start time notes!!!!!

In an effort to offer a safer and more fun race environment for all participants we are now starting Cat 2 and Cat 3 racers after Cat 1 and E Bikes have completed one lap. This greatly reduces conflict between very fast cat 1 and E Bike racers passing novice racers by nearly eliminating lap traffic. The posted start time of 12:40m for cat 2 & 3 is approximate. We will begin releasing the remaining cat 2 & 3 waves after Cat 1 racers go through scoring. Know your wave number!

10am Cat3 Jr. Novice Races

You may have noticed that we are doing Cat3 Jr novice races early in the day and be asking "hey, what's up with that?" We want to give Jr's, and particularly novice Jr's the best race day experience we can. Separating the Jr. novice races to an earlier start allows us to do 3 things:
- Fewer racers on course for the race.
- For families where the one or both parents also race it gives the parents a chance to spectate and cheer their kids.
- Novice Jr's get their own start, with more people cheering and spectating. Bring the cowbells!
