The Enduro is full and the waitlist is open
Here’s how the waitlists will work:
– Go to the registration site, hit the “join waitlist” tab and sign up on the waitlist.
– Racers will be selected by the order they sign up. If you are selected to register, you will receive an email from RunSignUp. You will have 48 hours to register. If you don’t sign up, it automatically goes to the next person on the waitlist!
We normally do not offer refunds because this is a fundraising event. But, because we anticipate a large waitlist, we are making an exception.
If you are registered for the race and cannot make it, please email us ([email protected]) to request a refund and let someone else race! You will make their day.
Refund Policy (ONLY if there is a current waitlist):
Before May 1st – 100% Refund
May 1st-June 12th – 50% Refund
After June 12th – No Refund
**Transaction fees will not be refundable
Enduro mountain bike racing is just about the most fun you can have in a race. The climbs are mandatory, but you are only timed on specific downhill sections. Chat with your friends on the way up, race for bragging rights on the way down. Course maps will be released the week of the race.
We now have age categories for the Enduro!
This will be consistent with the
Lake Superior Gravity Series and the races included in that series (excluding Beginner, that category will not be scored by LSGS and will vary by each race event).
*****To be scored appropriately for the Lake Superior Gravity Series, your race age is determined by your age on October 6, 2024*****
MTF Enduro podium categories:
Overall Beginner M & W (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Overall Sport M & W (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Sport M & W – 16 and Under (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Sport M & W – 40 and Over (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Overall Open M & W (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Open M & W – 16 and Under (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Open M & W – 40 and Over (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
If you get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Overall, you get bumped out of your age category.
Timed stages are between 2 and 15 minutes featuring mostly downhill segments showcasing our best trails.
MANDATORY Racer meetings will be held before the race starts. Please refer to the Event Schedule for more details.
