About the event

Bedford XC MTB Race joins NOMBS!

The Cleveland Metroparks Bedford XC MTB race has been going on for years and is a beloved event by the area MTB community. We are proud to have it as one of the NOMBS races in 2023!

Course & General Info

All categories, other than Cat3 Novice U19-U13 will race the ~10 mile race loop, so check out the route map. You can expect a fast, closed course with fun descents and hard climbs utilizing Bedford Singletrack, gravel paths, paved park roads, and sections of the all-purpose trail you know and love. Cat3 Novice U19 - U13 will be doing one shortened lap of about 5 miles, looping back towards the start at Bridal Veil Falls. Awards will be three deep and will be a combination of swag and prizes. All registered racers will receive a detailed email a week or so before the race with complete race details. 

Jr Novice Races

You may have noticed that we are doing Cat3 Jr Novice races early in the day and be asking, "Hey, what's up with that?" We want to give Jr's, and particularly Novice Jr's the best race day experience we can. Separating the Jr. novice races to an earlier start allows us to do 3 things:

Fewer racers on course for the race.For families where the one or both parents also race it gives the parents a chance to spectate and cheer their kids.Novice Jr's get their own start, with more people cheering and spectating. Bring the cowbells!

Day Of Registration:

While we strongly encourage you to pre-register (and we greatly appreciate you doing so, as it helps the event go more smoothly), there will be race day registration via BikeReg.com on your phone. 

Day Of reg is an extra $10Jr Novice registration closes at 8:30am!Day of registration for all other categories closes at 10am!

!!!!!!!Start time notes!!!!!

In an effort to offer a safer and more fun race enviorment for all participants we are now starting Cat 2 and Cat 3 racers after Cat 1 has completed one lap. This greatly reduces conflict between very fast cat 1 racers passing novice racers by nearly eliminating lap traffic. The posted start time of 11:15am for cat 2 & 3 is approximate. We will begin releasing the remaining cat 2 & 3 waves 5 minutes after Cat 1 racers go through scoring.

Results:

 Results will be available live on the internet; visit: www.Results.CrossMgr.com to find the race by year and date. There will be a big screen at the finish line, feel free to watch the results on the big screen. 

USA Cycling Licenses, Ohio State Championship, and NOMBS Series Championship rules & eligibility:
