BC Enduro Series

The BC Enduro series is a 6-race series with stops at some of the best riding spots in British Columbia, including the Sunshine Coast, Rossland, and Vernon, BC. Riders earn points for each race, and series racers need to compete in 5 out of the 6 races to be considered for the final podium. Like many of the race series on this list, racers can choose to compete in all or just one of the races in the series.

The BC Enduro race shares its two final stops with the KR Enduro Series, which is legit in its own right with stops in Kananaskis (AB), Fernie, and Canmore (AB).

Big Mountain Enduro

The Big Mountain Enduro has only been around for a few years but it’s already become the premier enduro series in the US. This year’s series will be held exclusively in Colorado with stops at Keystone, Winter Park, Crested Butte, and Aspen/Snowmass. The Crested Butte race will be a part of the Enduro World Series, which will draw even more riders to this popular race series.

California Enduro Series

The California Enduro Series got an early start on May 9 near Lake Tahoe with the Battle Born Enduro, which sold out in 3 days flat. Not only that, all the upcoming events are sold out for this year except the final race, the Kamikaze Games Enduro at Mammoth Mountain. If you missed sign-ups this year, be sure to register early for next year!

Eastern States Cup Enduro

Vittoria is sponsoring this year’s Eastern States Cup Enduro with 7 races from New Hampshire to Pennsylvania. Racers can expect plenty of rock and gnar throughout the series while riding some of the best trails the east coast has to offer. The next race in the series–the Attitash Mountain Enduro–happens this weekend in New Hampshire.

Enduro One

This European series has stops in Germany and Austria. The next race is July 4 at Wildschönau, where riders will race 6 special stages and spectators can use huts along the route to cheer on the racers.

Enduro World Series

The Enduro World Series is the big time when it comes to enduro racing, and each stop on the EWS is massive. This series is truly global with races in New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, France, the US, Canada, Spain, and Italy this year.

Oregon Enduro Series

This four-race series splits time between the trails in the Bend and Mt. Hood areas in Oregon and offers “some of the most challenging terrain on the West Coast, and the views are some of the best in the world.” The Hood River race just happened this past weekend, but there are two more races coming up: Mt. Bachelor on August 23 and Mt. Hood September 12-13.

Scott Enduro Cup

The Scott Enduro Cup presented by Vittoria has just 3 stops, but boy are they excellent: Moab, Sun Valley (ID), and Park City (UT). This year’s enduro race in Sun Valley will be the first race ever held on the extensive backcountry trails located outside the resort.

UK Gravity Enduro Series

The UK Gravity Enduro series runs from May through September with the National Champs happening mid-way through the series in July. This year’s stops include the Forest of Ae, Hamsterly, and Machynlleth.
