About OMBC
Built for the trail.
Since 1998, OMBC has brought riders of all ages and abilities together for competitive, challenging, and fun mountain bike racing.
What started as a championship series has grown into a community connected by trails, competition, adventure, and a shared love of riding bikes.
Today, OMBC continues to evolve by working with clubs, trail organizations, race promoters, and riders to expand mountain bike racing across Ohio and beyond.
