2016 Steel City Enduro

RACE DETAILS

The race features five timed stages that take riders over the best descents at Sals. The course highlights the fast, technical, purpose-built mountain bike trails at Salisbury Walking Purchase Park, and this year emphasizes descents. The course was put together by some of the area's top enduro racers and will be challenging but super fun. Riders can use any type of bike, but full-suspensions models with 5 to 6 inches provide the best shot at full stoke. Each timed stage will be run as an individual time trial, with riders departing in 30-second intervals. There will be four non-timed transfers between each stage. These allow riders to regroup with friends and roll along to the next timed section.
