Introducing the Leisure Option for the Colors of Cancer 5K!
We understand that not everyone wants to race against the clock—some of you just want to soak in the atmosphere, enjoy the beautiful route, and support a great cause in a more relaxed way. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Leisure Option for this year’s Colors of Cancer 5K!
What is the Leisure Option?
No Pressure: This option is perfect for those who want to walk, jog, or simply enjoy the event at their own pace without worrying about time or competition.
Flexible Distance: Feel free to complete as much or as little of the course as you like. Whether you do the whole 5K or just a portion, your participation is what matters most!
Community Spirit: You’ll still receive a race bib and be part of all the festivities, including the post-race celebration. However, you won’t be eligible for timed awards, so you can focus on the fun and the cause.
We’re all here to support the fight against cancer, so no matter how you choose to participate, your involvement makes a difference. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or just enjoying a leisurely stroll, we can’t wait to see you there!
Leading up to the event, anyone who would like can share their journey in our Facebook group and funds to those in need will be distributed following the race day.
Feel free to post stories of any loved ones still with us or not that you would like to honor and remember in our Facebook Group through the year.
Hope to see you there.

Carpooling is encouraged and please. “take your time” driving up Fratz Road to the race site- the road is narrow, and we don't want to piss off the residents who live on the road. On the way up the hill check out the cool container home on the right. Also watch out for deer- there is a 4 point buck roaming around that likes to cross the road in the early morning!!
Don't believe AI – generally there are not bathrooms at the trailhead, but we plan to have Porta potties!

Blue Knob Mountain Bike Association Mountain Bike Challenge Blue Knob Mountain Bike Association (BKMTBA) is once again holding its 13.7-mile and 25.4-mile races that will incorporate both the trail systems at Blue Knob All Season Resort and Blue Knob State Park on August 15, 2026. The primary purpose and goals of BKMTBA in hosting the festival and race are to draw attention, increase notoriety, and attract patronage to both Blue Knob All Season Resort and Blue Knob State Park. It is the belief of BKMTBA that the Blue Knob Mountain area, as a whole, and all of its amenities are relatively unknown within and outside the state. It is the stated goal of BKMTBA that by increasing the number of events that are open to the general public, as well as events that target specific groups, such as the mountain bike community, the Blue Knob Mountain area, and the surrounding communities of Blair, Bedford, Cambria, and Centre counties, the area will be identified as a weekend and vacation destination.
Blue Knob Mountain Bike Challenge has been registered and advertised on BikeReg.com services and website. Racers can follow the link to register. The site allows racers to register and pay through the site. The race will have ten categories that participants can choose from. For the 13.7-mile race, there are Men’s Open 18-49 y/o, Men’s Youth <18 y/o, and Men’s 50+ y/o, Women’s Open 18-49 y/o, Women’s Youth <18 y/o, and Women’s 50+ y/o. For the 25.4-mile race, there are two categories: a Men’s Open 18+ y/o and a Women’s Open 18+ y/o. We also have a single-speed category that will follow the 25.4-mile race course and is open to Men 18+ y/o and Women 18+ y/o. The registration fee for categories for men and women 18+ will be $50, and the youth categories will be $30. All registered racers will receive a complimentary race shirt. The top three finishers for each category will also receive a cash award. Race-day registrations and check-in will begin at 8:00 AM on August 15, 2026. Race-day
registrations will be an additional $10.00. The race will start promptly at 10:00 AM on August 15, 2026, rain or shine, for all participants aged 18 and above, and at 10:05 AM for all youth participants. Long Course: The race will begin at the Blue Knob All Season Resort clubhouse and work its way through the resort side single-track trails for its first stage, followed by a grueling climb up the slopes to the Blue Know lodge and the beautiful single-track trails on the Blue Knob State Park side. This year, the long course loop will take the riders down to Pavia, where they will begin the climb back to the ski lodge. The finish will be a fast and grueling downhill back to the resort for drinks, food, and fun. Awards and prizes will be presented at 2:00 PM on August 15, 2026, at the finish line. Short Course: The race will begin at the Blue Knob All Season Resort clubhouse and work its way through the resort side single-track trails for its first stage, followed by a grueling climb up the
slopes to the Blue Know lodge and the beautiful single-track trails on the Blue Knob State Park side. This year, the short course will take the riders around the Pavia Lookout Loop on the Blue Knob State Park side, then back to the ski lodge. The finish will be a fast and grueling downhill back to the resort for drinks, food, and fun. Awards and prizes will be presented at 2:00 PM on August 15, 2026, at the finish line.
Lost River Classic: Saturday, August 15, 2026 at 9 AM
The Lost River Classic returns for its third year on August 15, 2026! Registration opens Christmas Day 2025 at an early bird rate of $65 before going up to $85 on January 2 and $100 on August 1.
The Lost River Classic presented by the Lost River Trails Coalition is a gravel race to support the development of multi-use and mountain biking trails in Lost River State Park, Hardy County, West Virginia. Proceeds from the event are split between LRTC's general funds for trail maintenance/small projects and the Cryptids, Hardy County's NICA youth mountain bike team. This event is inspired by Jay Moglia, the founder of Raw Talent Ranch and the first President of the Lost River Trails Coalition. Jay once ran a road race in Mathias by the same name, and we thought it was a fitting tribute to recast his race as a collection of some of the most challenging and beautiful roads we can string together in Hardy County.
[Lost River Classic 2024_View 2-50.jpg]
This is a very challenging event. We recommend gravel bikes with low, almost mountain bike gearing and 38mm+ tires for most riders.
The Lost River Classic is part of the West Virginia Gravel Series. Qualifying participants across many categories for long, medium, and short routes can win additional cash or prizes. See the WVGS website for rules. There is an optional $5 surcharge to participate in the West Virginia Gravel Series.
For updates and information, follow at https://www.facebook.com/LostRiverClassic and https://www.instagram.com/lostriverclassic/
Routes and Prizes
The Lost River Classic (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49458335) consists of an 85 mile, mostly gravel route primarily in Hardy County, WV (8,500 feet of elevation in 85 miles).
Men's, Women's, and Nonbinary Open: $500/3
All other categories: prizes
The Medium Route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55899106) joins the 85 mile bike race for the first half of the ride and returns on Thorn Bottom and Mill Gap Roads to Lost River rather than heading as far north as Kirby. This route is less challenging and technical than the original WVGS Medium route, but will be about 60 miles long with 6,000 feet of climbing.
The Cove Mountain Loop (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43630063) is a 28 mile circuit departing with the rest of the cyclists, but turns left toward Middle Cove Road and Aid Station 1 without crossing over Basore Road into Virginia. This is still a challenging route on beautiful roads, but without the sufferfest of the major climbs. There is still one gravel climb and descent on this route.
Bail Outs and Time Cuts
The long route is very challenging, but it is possible to bail out after Squirrel Gap road to join the medium route.
Aid Stations
Aid stations are placed roughly 20 miles apart:
Aid Station 1 (northern Squirrel Gap Road): Mile 25 of the medium and long routes
Aid Station 2 (Grassy Lick Community Center, Kirby): Mile 43 of the long route only
Aid Station 3 (Red's Broken Spoke, Baker): Mile 61 of long routes and mile 36 of medium route
Aid Station 4 (Lost River Barn): Mile 78 of long route and mile 53 of medium route
Aid Station A (The Lost River Yoga Barn/Inn at Lost River): Mile 15 of the short course only
Aid stations will be relatively minimalistic: water, HEED by Hammer Nutrition, and Coke and snacks like pretzels, chips, trail mix, peanut butter and jelly, fruit, pickles, etc.
Event Details
Package pick-up and same day registration will be available beginning at 7:30 AM on August 15.
All event categories will depart from the Mathias Community Center at 9 AM on August 15, with the family ride a few minutes later.
There will be a post-ride meal and party at the Mathias Community Center. A meal ticket is included for every category. The meal consists of traditional Hardy County pit chicken BBQ prepared by the Mathias Community Center with vegetarian sides of baked beans and mac and cheese from South Branch Smokehouse. The vegetarian main option will be a wrap from Drifter's Cafe.
Additional meal tickets can be purchased separately in the event registration for $20. One free T-shirt will be given to every participant, with a cutoff of July 25. Additional T-shirts can be purchased in the online event registration.
The event will be held rain or shine, although we may be course changes for heavy rain.
Farmer's Market and Live Music
This year's event will have a farmer's market at the Mathias Community Center from 1-5pm. You can read more about the market and vendors here.
CC Nichols will play a solo set around 1pm and Ben Townsend and Matt Metz will play in tandem from 3-5pm.
Equipment
All riders must wear a bicycle helmet.
The Lost River Classic route features more than 50% gravel. Some of this can be relatively rough and we recommend gravel bikes with tires at or above 36mm width. We do not recommend road bikes. Any type of bike is suitable for the family ride.
There are aid stations every 25 or so miles, but you should bring with you two full bottles (it can be hot in August).
Transfers and Changes
Registration transfers can be made from person to person and route changes may be made online until August 14 at 5pm. After this, only route changes may be made by informing the registration table a check-in before 9AM on August 15. These changes can be made in your Bikereg account.
Accommodations
There are several hotels and bed and breakfasts nearby, ranging from Lost River to Wardensville, as well as the South Branch Inn in Moorefield. Guesthouse Lost River is among the most popular hotels in the area. Lost River State Park features a variety of cabins. These are in high demand, so we suggest booking them well in advance of the event weekend. Adjacent to the park is the private Big Ridge Campground that can accommodate both tents and RVs. Please see the Hardy County Convention and Visitors Bureau for more information about lodging.

Additonal Stuff:
Free camping in the field the night before the race with a community bonfire. No fires or RV's (they are so heavy, if it rains really heavy leading up to the event we worry they could get stuck in the field. There are close local campgrounds if interested in RV parking. One RV campground is less than a half mile from the start line.
Lodging Options:
Austin Lake Park – Camping in Ohio – There’s so much to do here! very close and has very nice amenities- a great choice if a family or group weekend is planned. It needs mentioning that they have a waterpark onsite and after a long hot day of gravel grinding a water park might feel nice.
If the camping or Austin Lake are not your speed we suggest you book a hotel in Calcutta/East Liverpool or Steubenville which will put you less than 30 minutes driving from the venue.
There is also an RV campground at the end of the road that the venue is on, about a quarter mile from the start/finish. Joe Bottom's is the name and if anyone has a tow behind or RV it offers full hookups.
Please download the route to a cycling computer. The files are spot on and ensure you have a stress free day with no worries of navigation. A few signs get stolen or messed with each year is why we stress downloading the route.
Any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
See you all August 15th!
