PRESS RELEASE: MooseDuro 2019

The Canadian National Enduro Series just wrapped up in Panorama last weekend, congratulations to our new national champions Jennifer McHugh and Remi Gauvin and to the CNES team for delivering an incredible season!

Are you already starting to miss racing your bike? Didn't sign up for an event yet due to schedule conflicts? Don't worry, we have another Enduro to add to your calendar: MooseDuro is a multi-stage Enduro race put on by Alberta 66 MTB and Moose Mountain Bike Trail Society (MMBTS) and it will be held on Sunday September 22nd 2019 at Moose Mountain, Alberta.

This grassroots event showcases some of Alberta's finest trails and is brought to life by a passionate crew of volunteers and sponsors from the local community. The race has sold out the last two years since its inception in 2017 and all profits go back to MMBTS for maintaining and building trails on the mountain. This year MMBTS is building a new jump trail so the profits will directly benefit the new flow line. Last year MooseDuro raised over $5,000 dollars from the race and new memberships purchased at registration.
