ONSITE REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH EVENTS
Thank You for registering for the second MAXXIS ESC Enduro of 2021. We are excited to head to one of the most fun venues we have ever visited. Last year the ESC held events at Powder Ridge, the racers were thrilled and surprised at the quality of the trails the fantastic camping, and the onsite nightlife featuring a great outdoor restaurant and fireside bar. This weekend there will be a live band on Saturday Night while the enduro racers are racing in our first ever Outbound Lighting Night Enduro and the lift will be spinning for spectators at $5 per day for unlimited rides

To make sure everyone starts the second wave in the correct order we will be putting a time stamp on your chip at the start of the second wave.
Please drive slowly through the neighborhood while visiting Powder Ridge, we do not want to upset the neighbors and please visit the local restaurants and let them know you are there because of the enduro race.
