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:
By special permission of ODNR there will be limited car camping at the trailhead for Saturday night at the trailhead and race start! You must check the box that you want to car camp during reg, limit of 20 spots.
RV sites can be booked here.
Group campfire Friday and Saturday evening.
Course will be marked for practice laps early Saturday.
THIS EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE!
Course info pending.
12pm race course:
Strava map here.
Elevation 654 feet.
Lap time by one of our E-bikers was 29 minutes. One of our novice riders did 59 minutes.
10am Jr Novice Race Course:
Strava map here.
2 laps, 30 minute cutoff to start lap 2.
Jr novice scored on laps completed.
4.51 miles.
The double top secret start/finish area loop will add about 0.5 mile to each lap.
Prolog will add about 0.25 mile to the first lap.
Elevation 414 feet.
Day Of Registration:
While we strongly encourage you to preregister (and greatly appreciate you doing so as it helps the event go more smoothly), there will be "day of" registration. It will be an extra $10 after 6pm Saturday evening, and will close 60 minutes before the start of your event.
Race day Schedule:

2:30-3pm, all podiums.
Adaptive racers, we may alter where in the schedule you start as we work with you and learn what works best.
!!!!!!!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!
NOMBS E-Bike rules
To compete in the e-bike division at NOMBS events your bike must be UCI/USAC compliant.

Or you need to bring in the certification from your motor's manufacturer that your bike is a Class 1 e-bike with no more than 750w of power at the rear wheel and no more than 20mph of pedal assist.
Do not modify or hack the bike's firmware to do anything other than the Class 1 definition above. In other words, do not do anything like pushing the buttons to make your bike a Class 3 e-bike, taking the wheel magnet and moving it to your cranks, or using an app to get all the power.
YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO BRING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION about your e-bike’s drive unit with you to inspection located next to timing by 11am:
Declaration of Conformity for your e-bike
The firmware version of your e-bike drive unit
Specifically, you need to bring in a copy of your e-bike's signed Declaration of Conformity confirming compliance with EN15194 (probably the easiest), UL 2849, and/or CFR 1512. This should be available on your e-bike manufacturer's website or in your e-bike's user's manual. If all else fails, call your e-bike manufacturer and ask. Every e-bike manufacturer has these certificates and are required to have them to sell their e-bikes to the public.

Get Ready to Take Flight at the
2026 FlyBy 5K and 2 Mile Fun Run/Walk
presented by CNX Resources
After a brief layover in 2025, the FlyBy 5K and 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk returns for its ninth year in 2026! This unique course gives participants exclusive access to run through the taxiways of Pittsburgh International Airport, a true behind-the-scenes look and a side of the airport few get to see.
This family-friendly race makes it possible for everyone to race the airport grounds and earn their wings! There are two options to participate: the 5K (a timed 3.1-mile course) and the 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk (untimed), so there's something for everyone. Children younger than 4 years old can register for free.
Proceeds from the FlyBy 5K and 2‑Mile Fun Run/Walk support the Allegheny County Airport Authority Charitable Foundation.
*Children aged 4 or younger on race day can register at no charge; however, due to FAA requirements for who can be on the property, these children must be officially registered for the event and wear their assigned race bib to identify them as event participants.
This is a fun and unique local trail running event with combined wide trails and single-track trails for all skill levels.
Your choice of three trail events.
1.) 5k trail walk/ run (1 lap) wide gravel and grass trails
2.) 10k trail run (1 lap) wide grass gravel along with dirt single track no major water crossings.
3.) Half Marathon trail run (2 laps 10k+ course) same as the 10k course no major water crossings.
All monies raised will go to support local youth/ Boy Scout development activities.
Only the 5K walk run permits dogs and strollers.
First and foremost, we have every intention of hosting the Bull Dam Trail Run, scheduled onsite.
That said, there are two reasons it could be canceled, changed significantly, or postponed that are out of our control:
1.) Cancellations by a government agency (think Covid restrictions)
2.) If there is extreme, inclement weather. (Lightning, high winds, hail)
Note that we are subject to all restrictions put in place by the Pennsylvania State Government, the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the North East Area Emergency Management Agency. We will follow their guidelines.
Also, note that we will try to have the post-race breakfast of waffles and sausage and maybe bacon. We are required to have a health department permit to serve food. We will have some sort of post-race refreshments that will meet safety guidelines – perhaps local fruits and prepackaged snacks. (We will have breakfast again this year)
Here are some specific details on the Bull Dam Trail Run, which is made up of three events:
1.) A 5K Trail Run/Walk
2.) A 10 Trail Run
3.) A 13.1 Mile Trail Run (two loops plus a little of the 10k course plus a little more.)
Timing the events:
We will have a timer on site. The results go up online within minutes.
The start:

Use of water stations and porta potties.
The “Soft Start” is intended to spread out crowding at the water stations, the trails, and porta potties.
This should enable you as a participant to socially distance yourself from other runners.
The water stations will be manned for refill work only.
The water station will be self-serve only. (there may be folks to help)
The folks at the water stations are to restock supplies, do minor clean-up, and let the race officials know if there is a runner in need of assistance.
There will be an official start line with RF sensors.
There will be an official finish line with RF sensors.
The 5K Run/ Walk Course:
The 5k course is around the reservoir and will be unflagged for most of the course. It is one lap of the reservoir. Always keep the water to the same side it is on when you start. If the water is behind, you or on the opposite side you are probably going the wrong way.
The 10k & 13.1-mile Course:
The 10k & Half Marathon is in the woods and will be fully flagged with flags about 30-50 feet apart. There will be caution tape up to guide participants in confusing areas.
Course tear-down will start at 11:30 AM as we are required by the North East Borough to have flags and caution tape removed within 48 hours. This takes a lot of manpower and time as we have approximately 6,000 flags on the course as well as caution tape.
Onsite registration:
1.) Registration/ Payments must be done online via Runsign-up either on your smartphone or online.
2.) There will be some bibs on-site for same-day registration. Cash Only unless you register on-site via your phone.
By signing up for the race you understand that we will do whatever we must to have this race, onsite. If the race is canceled by things beyond our control, there will be no refunds.
NEW 10k for 2026!
We will be celebrating the new Buckeye Trail section at West Branch State Park. The Buckeye Trail has recently been designated a State Trail by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and is only the third trail to receive this recognition. This new section is the first of more to come!
West Branch State Park is predominantly forested with a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. The forest is primarily oak-hickory and provides habitats for a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, pheasant, and songbirds. The dense canopy provides shade and cool temperatures in the warmer months making it perfect for hiking and running.
Marathoners will make their way around the eastern end of the lake crossing the dam and then continuing to the entrance to the campground before returning back to the beach. Half marathoners will finish at the turnaround and take a shuttle back to the finish party at the beach. 10k participants will complete an all-trail route from the beach to the dam and back.
