Enduro

Enduro is an off-road discipline that tests the mechanical endurance of machines and the endurance of riders. It is practiced on non-permanent circuits created mainly on bumpy tracks with significant gradients. 

The track is generally made up of a loop between 45 to 70 km to be covered 3 or 5 times in a day. The Enduro side tracks are 7 – 30 km long and can have over 100 riders on the track at the same time.  The goal is to do as many laps in the given time depending on the class of competition.

The most popular and well known Enduro event is the International Six Days’ Enduro (ISDE). It is a competition for national teams made up of 4 or 3 riders lasting six days and with over 500 riders participating altogether. Held for the first time in 1913, it is the most venerable and the longest of the annual competitions in the FIM calendar.

FIM Africa hosts the annual Cross Country of African Nations (XCoAN) in a different country every year.

The Enduro Commission organises 6 to 7 events locally that form part of the National Championship series.
