Registration Opens for the North American Enduro Cup
PRESS RELEASE: 2022 North American Enduro Cup
Registration opens for the 2022 North American Enduro Cup on February 1, 2022 at 12:00 noon PST! Head over to naenduro.com and get yourself registered!
The 2022 NAEC will take over Silver Mountain Bike Park in Kellogg, Idaho, on June 10-12, 2022. After six years of building and growing, the NAEC is the pinnacle of enduro in North America. That's a lofty claim, but we can back it up. It's got a $12,000 pro purse and is an EWS qualifier. It's a stand-alone, two day race that's the highest-attended enduro race in North America. We'll have fresh, raw track sections, and a number of new trails that are open only for this event and are outside the normal bike park boundaries. That's what enduro racing is all about, right? You also get more racing at the NAEC, with the fastest pro time last year at over 40 minutes of timed racing, a pro field over 90 deep, and our famous Queen Stage with a fastest time of 14:44 in 2021. Oh, and with the 3,400' (1040m) of vertical on tap at Silver Mountain Bike Park, it's easy to see why the NAEC has become the highest-attended enduro in North America. It's that intangible sense of "woah" that the NAEC delivers. We've got all that, and more, in store for 2022.
Registration:
Opens February 1st, 2022, 12:00 noon PST at www.naenduro.com
$210 race entry, includes two race day lift tickets.
(Additional lift ticket for Friday practice can be purchased for $30.)
2022 Race Schedule:
June 9 - Course Release
June 10 - Practice Day
June 11-12 - Race Days
New Stuff:
We will be using a new live timing system from our friends at Zone4.ca. We will be having start times for racers and cut-off times for some stages. While we still use the chairlifts, in addition to ample amounts of pedaling for Expert and Pros, we've made adjustments to our flow to help minimize bottlenecks. Every year we make tweaks and adjustments to provide an improved experience. Sorry, no more naps in the sunshine at the Summit House.
Enduro World Series Qualifier:
The NAEC will once again be an EWS Qualifier for those seeking to race at the next level. Racers must have an EWS Membership prior to the race to obtain points.

This year's purse might help draw some attention from outside of the US.
those who downvoted me must be ultra rich? you clearly have zero clue about what the fed is doing
I'd race too, but after registering my 2 kids for a total of $555, you got all the money you're going to get from me this year. Let me guess, Silver is going to charge $15 to camp for the event too?
Yes, I know it's my choice to race it or not, I just think it isn't a good bang-for-the-buck at that price. Maybe if the swag came with the registration like it should anyway, and if camping was free, and if there wasn't the BS "service fee", I'd be ok with that. I know it takes money to put on races, but I think they can do better. I'm more worried about my bottom line than I am the race's.
