2026 marks year 4 for NOMBS! I can’t believe it’s been 4 years! Myself, series volunteers, and the local hosts are hard at work on the 2026 events.

Some races return, and we have a few new venues in rotation this year. If your favorite venue from past years is not on the schedule this year know that it’s not because we didn’t love it too. There are just so many awesome trails and hosts that there will be a few rotations each year to spread the love and keep things fresh.

One major change and addition this year is we are bringing racing back to West Branch State Park on Sunday August 2nd, and it will be the USA Cycling Ohio State Championship race for 2026! Separating the State Championship from the Series Championship was a frequent request, and hosting state champs in the summer gives racing families from across the state the opportunity to come have a great weekend of camping and racing.

Due to the closure of Vultures Knob at the end of August our series finale will be at Findley State Park, Thorn MTB Trail this year, with some surprise course changes from previous years. Make sure to book a campsite early for that one.
