EnduroX Feature Race
Fastest 20 Riders qualify (can be from any class), Final will be over 3 six lap races. Riders will get points as follows, 1st=1point, 2nd=2points, 3rd=3points, through to 20th =20 points per race. These points are accumulated over each race and totaled after each race with the rider with the least points the winner and so on. So the best any rider could get is 3 points total. Feature race does not have any effect on the Hard Enduro points
PRIZEMONEY SCALE FOR FEATURE RACE:
TBA

RACE/CLASS FORMAT
Classes will be Gold, Silver, Bronze, Ladies and Junior
The Hard Enduro is an extreme Enduro, designed to pit man and machine against the elements and by its nature will not be easy, however we have designed the course to be cruel but fair. Choosing the right class for your skill level and fitness is essential for your enjoyment of the event.
Bronze – Competent trail riders. Course difficulty will be similar to an Enduro deviation at a trail ride with some slightly harder sections. A keen attitude, well prepared bike and camelback will make your day easier. Work together with a mate, to get around the course, recommended for the less experienced riders. Ladies will ride this course.
Silver – Competitive and semi-competitive riders. A step up in difficulty and distance from Bronze. Silver riders will require a good level of bike skill and fitness to get to the finish. Must be confident with log crossings, hill climbs and bulldogging on downhills. Experience at previous Enduros will be beneficial but not essential. Some pushing may be required so keep onside with other riders so you can help each other when the going gets tough.
Gold – Designed to test top level riders, very challenging with extreme sections.
Junior Riders – ( Refer MOM’s 14.11 & 14.12i) will be permitted to ride the bronze track with a ‘support rider’. This support rider will be expected to remain with their junior throughout the event. Junior riders at the discretion of the Event Organizer can ride Silver Class.

Overall Trophy
The trophy will be awarded to the winner of Gold, and will be made up from points received from the EnduroX and Hard Enduro, deciding who the overall winner is.
You must provide GPS confirmation of the course ridden. Only Garmin GPS units will be accepted by the organizer. If you are unsure please give us a call. Riders must have their GPS unit set on track and record setting.

Expect 5-7 hours of the toughest riding you will do this year. Prepare your bike – good tyres essential, tool kit and bike protection recommended. Marshals will be circulating to help out when needed.
You must compete on the same bike for both events.
