    GROMS, GET READY TO SEND IT!

    Here is a new event series all about KIDS GIVING IT A GO!

    Three races designed just for riders aged 7–12 (14 for ladies) on grade 3 or similar trails (all features either rollable or have ride arounds). The race difficulty gets harder as the season goes on. This is the perfect introduction for up and coming kids to experience timed race runs in a safe and inclusive environment.

    This race series is about having fun and being introduced to racing. There are Girls and Boys podiums for all age categories, spot prizes to be won and a professionally managed event. Fun times on bikes.

    We’re bringing the Rotorua enduro series back to its roots—good times with good mates, racing (serious but not too serious) on some of the best trails on the planet.

    Whether you’re here to test your speed or just keen for a cruisy day in the forest with your mates, the Chur Enduro Series is all about fun, flow, and that classic enduro vibe.

    In short:

    1. We do a course release announcing the race stages about a week prior to the race with non-mashal/unofficial practice on Saturday, race day Sunday.

    2. You make plans for what order you want to race those stages in, which you can change on the day if you want to

    3. You and your mates show up either the day before or the day of, collect your race plate and timing chip, line up on the start line, make your way to to your race stages

    4. Complete these within the allocated timeframe, return back to the race hq, grab a drink, tell war stories and see who wins what at prize giving.

    Simple right?

    Ride hard, laugh heaps, and hang out. Make Enduro Fun Again. Chur!
