About Mountains to Meadows Endurofest

Two styles of enduro races, one great trail network. Race one or both!

Explore the trails on Mt. Hough in Quincy, while enjoying the perfect party-to-race ratio of Grinduro, a highly social, enduro-style gravel race with a handful of timed segments, followed by the MTB/eMTB Mt. Hough Enduro the next day. Race the timed segments, chill, hang and ride with your buddies on the transfers.

The Mt. Hough singletrack is magically flowy and fun with some high-speed sections, but limited tech. Great for new enduro racers, or those just dabbling in the enduro discipline—no full-face helmets, pads or big-squish bikes required!

What it is: A weekend of racing and partying in the Lost Sierra where riders may choose to race Grinduro Saturday, the Mt. Hough Enduro MTB/e-MTB Enduro Sunday, or both for serious bragging rights. In short, Grinduro is just what the name suggests: Gravel Road Race + Mountain Bike-Style Enduro = one long loop of pavement and dirt, where finishing times aren’t based on overall loop time, but four timed segments.

The Dirt: Mt. Hough has developed as a singletrack destination over the last ten years, now boasting more than 70 miles of mostly flowy singletrack. Forest service roads criss cross the mountainside like a grid to nowhere, and everywhere, making the mountain an ideal playground for gravel enthusiasts. Mountains to Meadows Endurofest makes the best of these two dirt worlds, coexisting in one magical weekend of racing. Not a racer? Not to worry. Come for the vibes, the music, and to volunteer!

Details: 1.5 hours from Lake Tahoe & Reno. 3 hours from Sacramento.
