Dusk to Dark 3 Hr - Coondoo - Sat 13th April, 2024

 

 

 

What Type of event?  Who can attend?

Enduro (Endurance) Events are marathon style events on a set loop course over a fixed time period (usually 3, 4 or 5 hours).  The length of the loop is usually between 6 to 7½ km’s but can be up to 11km depending on the event length.  There is no set number of laps to complete, the only limit to how many and the number of laps ridden depends on the category that is entered; the only limit is the fitness / stamina and endurance of the rider/s.  Both Solo riders and Team options are available, with varying categories as set out below. 

 

Enduro's are mass start events, with riders encouraged to self seed based on their capability.  Riders will however compete with others in the same category, with the rider / team with the most laps in allocated time the winner for each category.

 

The course will close after the designated riding time (in this case 3hrs) and no more riders can commence a lap.  Riders on course will have time to finish their last lap.

 

There is no requirement to ride for the entire time; although one lap is required for each rider to be given a result.  Riders that withdraw or choose to stop before the cut off time must report to the Race HQ trailer to hand in their race number.

 

This is an event for all ages and abilities.

Will I need lights?

That depends.  This event starts in the afternoon and finishes in the dark, meaning if you want to ride for the entire event lights are essential.  However if you only want to ride for an hour and half or so, you'll get away with no lights.  For safety reasons, riders will be removed from the race if they do not have lights after approx. 5.00pm

How long is this course?

The Dusk to Dark lap will be approximately 6 km
