Nice trails, great fun

$300.00 to Men's XXC winner!

Come join us for The Wayne Ultra in the scenic Marietta Unit of Wayne National Forest, Ohio's only National Forest.

This first annual event will showcase some of the area's most beautiful and challenging singletrack while taking you on a true backcountry epic! Whether you are out to win or to have a great day on the trail you are sure to be amazed by the natural beauty of Southeastern Ohio.

To ensure a great trail experience, RVMBA volunteers have dedicated hundreds of hours to course preparation.

The 40 mile Ultra course is brutal so we will also be offering an "Almost Ultra" course that weighs in at about 25 miles. Sunday will offer a series of group rides led by RVMBA members. The race will be staged at the beautiful Leith Run Campground on the Ohio River. The campground offers a playground and hiking trails so bring the whole family for a festive weekend of riding ...come and get some!

Extra Info: Stocked aid stations and post race meal provided. Non-competitive riders are encouraged to attend and enter the short course, where else can you get a marked epic ride and dinner for thirty bucks! This is a truly epic backcountry mountain bike race! Trail pass required for non-racers.

How to Get There:

Located in Southeastern Ohio 30 minutes North of Marietta on SR 7 at Leith Run Campground. From I-77 take Exit #1 at Marietta then North on SR 7 to Leith Run Campground.
