The atmosphere is relaxed with no rush anywhere, except when you gun it between check points! Timing: Have to own an Amarider Trail Tag. R100 or take a yearly Amarider membership of R225 and a Tag is included! Trail Tags will be used at all Dirtopia events (MTB & Trail Runs) like Die Burger MTB Challenge, Amarider 100Miler, Spur MTB Classic etc. and more Enduro events. Watch out for the TAG POINTS at the beginning & end of each stage. Pre-entry cost (closes 9 July: Pre-entries only!): R225 for non-members and R200 for Amarider members Please note that ONLY pre-entries will be accepted - enter now! General: Product prizes & medals to be won.

We’d like to bring you more of this great riding and improve the system in the process. The conceptBased on the successful Mavic Trans Provence concept the idea is to bring riding and the results linked to it back to mountain biking and away from the current endurance-only formats. That said, it is not the idea to make the race highly technical as per downhill racing, but simply to focus the competition on the trails component of the sport. And yes, perhaps your skinny tire 29’er carbon hardtail is perhaps not the best choice of bike, although the course will certainly be rideable on it! At the Dirtopia Enduro, you’ll still be climbing and even be timed on some of these sections. We will make most of the jeeptracks and roads ‘neutral’ or ‘liaison’ sections. You will still be required to ride these. The overall descent of the race will be more than the uphill. SupportWaterpoint with fruit etc will be placed at a strategic point (Pepper Tree) to assist with rider support. The beauty of the format is that you can relax a bit at this station and catch your breath before tagging into the next Special Stage. TimingTiming will be managed in real-time with @trailtag and riders will check in and out of the Special stagesThis means that riders will enter special stages 1 by 1, so no bunfight to get trail position on the singletrack. IMPORTANT!1. Only ride with your own TrailTag & ALL entrants must have a permanent Trail Tag2. Wear the tag around your right wrist like a watch. Not around your ankle please.3.
