OMBC Championship

OMBC Series Finale Race #12

The series finale takes place on the 5,000-acre Mohican Memorial State Forest Trail, featuring a continuous 24-mile loop through Mohican State Park—arguably Ohio’s finest singletrack. It’s the state’s only IMBA Epic-designated trail and home to Ohio’s largest mountain bike race, the Mohican MTB 50K, 100K, and 100-Mile.
