Racing events
Due to significant uncertainty surrounding the 2020 pandemic and the status of 2021 cycling events, these listings will be frequently updated as we build our 2021 Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar. No printed version will be produced and circulated this year. A printable PDF version will be created once we receive sufficient entries.
Races are competitive events of various sorts. Multi-sport and BMX events are not listed in this Calendar. Sanctioned races are governed by the rules of a sanctioning body such as USA Cycling (on- and off-road), American Bicycle Racing (ABR), or North American Cycle Sport (NACS). Those who wish to compete in sanctioned races must have racing licenses issued by the appropriate governing body; race-day licensing may be available. Citizen races are usually open to all comers (within age restrictions) and are a good way to give racing a try. Spectators are welcome. See online references to types of races such as criteriums, road races, and mountain bike racing. Here are a few of the bicycle racing events taking place this year….
