Enduro Jam 

RACE BRIEFING

Modelled on Maydena Tasmania's Enduro Jam, MRORCA bring this fun race format to Margaret River. Based on the well-known Enduro format, we've tweaked the Enduro rules to give it even more of a fun, family friendly party vibe.

GENERAL RULES:

Enduro Jam is an exciting and low-key mountain biking race format but rules apply, mostly to keep people safe. The most important rules to abide by include:

  • multiple stage attempts are permitted and your fastest stage time is used for your total course time.

  • you may attempt each stage as many times as you like. 

  • you must complete all stages in your category

  • the lowest overall time after completing every stage is deemed the winner

  • riders usually queue at the stage starting area with a marshal advising you when to race. 30 seconds is generally a suitable gap between competitors, but it is advised to check with the rider before and after you to ensure adequate time is left. 

  • the race director has the discretion to prohibit unsafe or unsuitable bikes.

  • if a rider behind you has given ample time and catch you on the stage, you must move aside.

    • if you want to overtake a rider, clearly and politely let the rider in front know – ‘rider when ready’ is a good approach

    • if you are being overtaken, move over immediately where it is safe to do so

    • please and thank you go a long way!

SPECIAL SIDE EVENT - PUMPTY DUMPTY CHAINLESS CHALLENGE

  • Only one timed attempt possible, chain must be removed. (Racing between 4 - 5pm)
