We will also be using these rides to scope out the condition of some of the features so we'll have a final punchlist before the race.Please join us!
Venue Description
The Mayhem FUNduro is the OG of Ohio’s enduro courses which was featured in Brice Shirbach’s 2015 Pinkbike article , the one that started it all. This race will kick off our official FUNduro race series and will be the 1 of 4 courses to get ready for.
Tackle 13 miles of scenic singletrack at Ohio's original enduro venue. With five timed stages (0.4–1.1 miles each), expect a mix of punchy climbs, fast descents, and manmade features including jumps, drops, and gaps, all with go around options. This course is beginner friendly but still delivers a thrill for seasoned riders. It can take you anywhere between 1.5 hours to 3 hours to complete the entire course.
