Cleveland Area Mountain Bike Association

The event is located on the 600 acre Camp Manatoc Boy Scout Camp located in Peninsula, Ohio; (15 minutes from downtown Akron and 25 minutes from downtown Cleveland) This camp is located within the confines of the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) and is 1 mile from the historical Ohio/Erie Canal Tow Path Trail that stretches from Cleveland to Akron and beyond.

The first day is an 'open riding day'. Our local IMBA advocacy group, Cleveland Area Mountain Bike Association (CAMBA) holds group rides and educational riding clinics with a focus on beginning mountain bikers and women. We host an array of kids-oriented activities including kid's races, safety reviews and games.

In addition, a demo loop is set up for manufacturer's demo bikes so that riders of all abilities can ride and feel the new technology where it was intended; on the single-track trail.

Day two is the mountain bike race. This event has built up momentum over the past nine years despite nature's lack of assistance. (6 out of 9 years it has absolutely poured race day morning or throughout the day) It has previously served as a NORBA State Championship qualifying race. We have all the necessary facilities for the avid racer to compete at their fullest.
