Registration is now live for the Enduro Open Race, with riders having until May 2, 2025, to sign up. This is a unique opportunity for fans to take on the same heart-pounding descents and leg-burning climbs tackled by the pros. Speed is of the essence if you want to secure your spot on the start line, with a limit of 400 spaces available.
A TECHNICAL AND SCENIC COURSE
This year’s Enduro Open racecourse spans 43 km with 1,700 meters of elevation gain, designed to test both the technical skills and endurance of participants.
For those competing in the E-MTB race, the course will be 32 km with 1,500 meters of elevation gain, specifically designed to be completed with a single battery, making energy management a key factor for success.
Both races will be entirely pedal-powered, with no shuttle support—bringing enduro racing back to its roots. Riders will be tested not just on technical descents and high-speed sections, but also on their physical stamina and ability to endure a full day out on the trails.
The selected course features some of the best trails in the Finale Outdoor region area, offering a perfect mix of flowy sections, technical challenges, and breathtaking sea views—making for an unforgettable racing experience.
The race is open to the following categories: Junior Men, Junior Women, Men, Women, Masters Men (35+), Masters Women (35+), E-bike Men, and E-bike Women.
As an official qualifying event for the UCI Enduro World Cup, the race awards global ranking points, providing a crucial opportunity for those aiming to compete at the UCI World Cup level.
