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:
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.
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.
