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:

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