The third race in our series, and the second day of racing at Burke, will be in the ENDURO format. The course will include three timed segments in which the downhills counts and riders have the chance to test their technical skills against other riders. Cat A riders may do an additional segment, for FOUR total segments.

All riders must complete the Burke Waiver. CLICK HERE TO SIGN WAIVER.

We will stage riders, and there will also be course marshals at the top of each stage to regulate starting in 30 second intervals. We recommend that racers wear protective equipment such as a full face helmet or additional pads. Riders must ride within their ability level and control their speed.

All riding will occur outside of the Burke Bike Park with the exception of use of the Lower J Bar Trail. Riders MAY NOT ride the lifts while participating in a VTYC event.
