MTB and e-MTB Enduro Race Information

September 14th, 2025

The MTB and e-MTB Enduro is a BLIND ENDURO FORMAT. Racers will not know the timed stages until they roll up to ‘em, keeping the race filled with stoke and anticipation. The race is one long loop of dirt, where finishing times aren’t based on overall loop time, but timed DH segments. Racers only need to make the cutoffs for each stage.

Mt. Hough is known for its high speed, flowy dirt goodness. Not your typical super gnar enduro, most of the trails and timed stages are fast, flowy intermediate (blue square) type trails. Be ready for SPEED!

There are five categories: Beginner, Sport, Expert, eDuro & Pro

  • Beginner & Sport categories ride blue trails only
  • Expert, e-MTB & Pro categories will have some difficult (black diamond) rated trail sections mixed into the high speed flow!
