The first EMTB Enduro race in 2014 took place on April 12th, on the mountain side near Ślęża not far from Wrocław, Poland. This natural reserve built mostly of granite is 718 m high and covered with forests, and despite the small size of Ślęża there are many great single tracks in the beautiful landscape.

It was a great turnout and every one of the 141 racers appreciated the great diversity of special stages. The first two stages were steep, rocky and technical, and the last two had a great flow. Check out the amazing video of the event below, it has a very unusual start!

The length and difficulty of trails were a nice surprise for the attending riders, with steep technical slopes and long stony sections.

Besides EMTB Enduro race our partners from Kellys Bikes and Piotr Szwedowski prepared many other attractions like Kellys Demo Days, races for children, many kind of bike trips with guides and much more. Check out some of the photos from the day!
