No Way In Hell Extreme Enduro

Posted: Fri 18 Feb 2011

The 2011 No Way In Hell Extreme Enduro will run a slightly different format to the inaugural event last year.

After last year’s successful event we have decided to make the event more compact for the riders and better viewing for the spectators.

The shot gun start of the race will be down on the river flat, but everyone will be on the same start line. Last year we had spilt starts for the different classes and this spread the field out too much.

The start itself will be called the Bull Rush and it will consist of a run up the rockiest river bed you can imagine for about 1.5 kms. The first person to get to the end of this section will win $100 prize money.

After this the Course this year will consist of 3 laps that will get harder and harder as the event goes on.

Mathew and Nigel Scott, the legends from Oparau, are putting a course together that they hope will even test the main man Chris Birch.

There will be some pretty hard sections to test the riders but these won’t be in until the second and third laps. The course will be changed as the event goes on.

Each lap will be about 25-30 ks long and after each lap riders will be back at the woolshed for refueling and food.

Riders will carry an enduro time card this year and this will be marked when they complete some of the harder sections. If a rider can’t make a section and their card isn’t marked they will be out of the race.

There will also be a time limit set this year for the completion of the race. The total time for the race will be 6 hours, if no one has finished the course in 6 hours there will be no finishers.

After this any riders left on the course after 6 hours will be directed back to the woolshed.

Also at the woolshed there will be a fantastic viewing section for spectators. Each time the riders return to the woolshed they will have a mini extreme section to complete.

For spectators there are several different viewing places that are easy to get to so it is well worth a look.
