Back for 2016 is the Vitus First Tracks Enduro Cup, with 5 rounds and a format shakeup to keep things ‘fresh’ it’s sure to be a sweet series to be a part of! The words below come from the event organizer:

Entries are now live for 2016.

Keeping things fresh is always high on our list. For 2016 we will be having a ‘Sports’ category, this is aimed at both male and females riders over 14 that fancy giving Enduro a blast but haven’t quite got the fitness to tackle the full lap. Fewer stages on a shorter lap is the name of the game using the same stages as the main race but we may alter some bits. Also new for 2016 is a dash for cash stage, basically we will select a stage before the event and fastest rider on the day takes the cash.

Expect more great racing in 2016.

Entries are open from the 1st November 2015 and the first 50 riders to enter all 5 rounds receive a free Vitus First Tracks Enduro Cup jersey. Offer closes 31st December 2015.

The team are working hard to ensure the series will be better than ever.
