Mountain Creek Bike Park- NJ – Enduro Finals

Maxxis ESC Enduro Finals presented by Kate’s Real Food

October 16-17 ,2021

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

At both our series finals we need course marshals for the events to take place. Please lend us a hand and get a close-up view of the action. We’ll get you on course, give you an ESC Official’s T-Shirt, and an official ESC whistle. All you need is a fun attitude and a cell phone in case of an emergency.

And Mountain Creek will supply you with an event day pass so you can ride to your assigned place, and a return day bike lift pass, and a boxed lunch!!

Please sign up at our registration tents for a fun day, if you can help

The Maxxis Eastern States Cup is proud to present the MAXXIS ESC Specialized Enduro Finals at Mountain Creek Bike Park in Vernon, NJ. The Bike Park is conveniently located approximately 50 miles from New York City and the many Airports in the area. 

For the Series Finals, The Maxxis Eastern States Cup and Mountain Creek Bike Park will be putting together an enduro race that utilizes all of the resort’s four interconnected mountain peaks.  This event will give racers the opportunity to ride terrain typically not accessible to the Bike Park guests and stages will be designed to challenge both racer’s fitness and bike handling skills across a variety of terrain.

Nestled into the foothills of the Appalachian mountain range in the northernmost corner of New Jersey, Mountain Creek packs a punch well beyond its 1400ft elevation would have you think. Known for its classically east-coast technical terrain and square-edged rock gardens, Mountain Creek has long been a staple destination on the Northeast race scene since the resort first opened to Mountain Biking in 1999. The birthplace of the US Open of Mountain Biking and a regular on the USA Cycling ProGRT and Maxxis Eastern States Cup calendars, Mountain Creek consistently delivers racecourses that challenge and satisfy even the most seasoned racers.
