The Online Enduro Challenge is a unique enduro racing style event in Atlantic Canada. Like the Enduro World Series riders will race the clock on timed stages, only race day is every day and the leaderboards are online.
The Online Enduro Challenge runs from 15 June to 15 September. Timing is maintained on Strava (segment leaderboards) current standings will be updated regularly on ECMTB.
Approximately five stages will be selected in each of the Atlantic Provinces. Racers can register for the province(s) of their choice and then they will have the summer to set their best time on each stage. At the end of the summer the leaderboards for each stage will be checked, times for each province compiled and the racer with the lowest aggregate time will win their category in their province.
It’s easy to get involved, you can register by messaging @supercraig and letting him know what province(s) and category you’re racing, and a link to your Strava profile. From there he’ll follow you and be able to see you on the leaderboards for the race stages.
You need a Strava profile to participate. Your rides for the challenge must be set to public. After your register I’ll follow you and be able to see your rides for the leaderboards.
