4hr Mountain Bike Enduro: The inaugural event in 2010 proved extremely popular. Take on the challenge as a pair, or go it alone! Race the 12k off-road trial route and complete as many laps as possible in 4 hours.

Attracting nearly 1000 entrants, these fun events are designed to test the elite athlete while also offering a safe and fun environment for those new to off-road racing. The courses explore the tracks and trails of Gibraltar Barracks training land and technical turns and leg
