Racer Registration

Everything you need to know before race day — September 10, 2026

Race Rules & Safety

A mandatory safety briefing will be held before the race begins. All registered riders must attend.

Helmets are required. No helmet, no ride — no exceptions.
Sign the rules & waiver. Each racer must sign the official rules and regulations document before the race.
Course positioning: Faster riders stay to the inside of the turns. Slower riders keep to the outside.
Signal before passing. Announce your intention clearly before overtaking another rider.
Be respectful. Be kind to your fellow racers. This is a community event — good sportsmanship is expected of all riders.
Bring your own penny farthing. Bicycles will not be provided. You must supply your own high-wheel bicycle.
Race to Zero format: The race runs for one hour. Complete another lap if time remains. The race ends when the clock expires mid-lap.

A note on year one: This inaugural race is held on a Thursday. Our goal is to grow the Ohio High Wheel Race into an annual event — with future races moving to the weekend — but that future is built on the foundation we lay right now. Register today and help make this a tradition.
