Mt. Hough Enduro and e-MTB Enduro Race Information
Sunday, September 13th, 2026
From the same people who bring you the Downieville Classic.
The Mt. Hough 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, adventure 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!
This is an adventure day with a purpose: We’re giving you a reason to explore the woods with your friends while showcasing SBTS’ decade-long trail development on Mt. Hough. You may not know where your next turn will come, but rest assured there is some sweet Sierra singletrack waiting for you. Never raced enduro before? This is the one for you. The terrain and atmosphere make it everyone’s enduro.New! Event Cancellation Insurance is included in your registration. SBTS has enrolled in a third-party policy through Adventure Advocates that covers registration refunds if the event is canceled for qualified reasons like wildfire; click here for full details and disclaimer.
