After the European Enduro Series have been canceled completely, some of you ambitious racers might still search an alternative to competing on an international level. Yesterday we pointed to the SloEnduro, today we recommand you the Belgian Enduro Cup. In the following press release, you can find all relevant information.
Noting that many races were held in Belgium, but they were often isolated (except enduros Patric Maes), the idea of creating a Belgian Cup Enduro germinated last year in the head of many people. So we met the organizers and potential enduro organizers in Belgium around a table because their vision was similar and a reconciliation of several beautiful races was possible. Simply, no one had ever done so far, though, participating in many races and hang out by simply leaving his ears, we realized immediately that there was a demand driver for a real Belgian Cup. That is why we launched the Belgian Enduro Cup!
