UROC is very proud to announce that we will be hosting the Bee’s Knees Enduro race the second weekend September at Pass Powderkeg Ski Area. This race will be a great opportunity for new and veteran racers to test their skills on the wide variety of trails on offer at PPK.
As Enduro racing has progressed, UROC has seen the opportunity to offer an event for all ages and abilities with a homegrown feel, at a price that is just right. The Bee’s Knee’s Enduro will feature a 3 Stage Youth Race on Saturday afternoon, and a 5 Stage longer course on Sunday for all other categories.
The Saturday event is open to racers in the U12 (Ages 8-11) and U15 (Ages 12-14) categories looking for a shorter course option. Parents will be able to ride the course with younger racers.
On Sunday the full course will have the following categories: U15 (Ages 12-14), U18 (Ages 15-17), Open Men/Women, Masters Men/Women (Ages 40+) as well as an Open Men/Women E-bike category. Racers will moved into correct age categories if their stated birthdates don’t match what they’ve registered in.
Course routes can now be found on Trailforks here:
