Tecumseh's Revenge
OMBC Series Race #10
Annie Rooney, a passionate OMBC Series racer and key figure in the Tecumseh's Revenge race, was tragically killed by a drunk driver. In 2017, “Annie’s Law” was enacted to prevent similar tragedies. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and love of mountain biking continue to inspire all who knew her. At Scioto Trails, we honor her life and the race she helped create.
