Starting in the spruce woods of Peira Cava and finishing, four stages later, in the shale and scrub of l’Escarène… Here is the wonderful program that Christian Tabart has proposed to the 225 riders of his 2nd Enduro Marathon of l’Escarène.

Four special stages connecting mountains to coastal country, with absolutely all terrain you can imagine : earth, leaves, rocks, loose gravel, ridges, forests, balconies, canyons… and also some tasty climbs.

To resume, Enduro as we like it… Enduro made in 06! On the race side, we assisted to a new demonstration of Florian Nicolai, with 4 fastest times and a fourth consecutive victory on the Urge 1001 Enduro Tour, in front of Olivier Giordanengo and Adrien Dailly, while the girly podium was occupied by Morgane Jonnier (1) Nadine Sapin (2) and Julie Duvert (3).
