Picture this: three electrifying stages under the stars on Saturday night, followed by another three stages on Sunday morning. A total of five unique stages are designed to test your abilities. To make things even more exciting, you’ll race one stage both in the dark and the day, allowing you to compare your riding times. The Stan’s/Outbound Lighting Night/Day enduro promises an absolute blast for every racer out there.
We’ve arranged a full day of practice on Saturday to get those gears spinning and fine-tune your technique, the real action kicks off at 7:30pm on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, racers will have a short practice session from 8am to 10am, allowing you to warm up before the racing resumes at 11am. Get ready to unleash your skills and conquer uncharted trails like never before!
Oh, and one more thing – this race won’t be lift-assisted. That means you better be prepared to pedal hard during the transfers. It’s all part of the challenge that awaits you at the Arrowhead Recreational Area!

Get ready to push the boundaries, defy gravity, and experience the rush like never before. The countdown has begun – see you at the starting line!
All racers are required to have lights on their bike and/or helmet.
Outbound Lighting will be onsite providing light support for ALL brands to keep everyone running on race night, so while it’s ultimately your responsibility to make it through the race with your gear, Tom from Outbound will have tools and spare parts for most major lighting brands available so you can get support between stages if needed.
Outbound Lighting will be offering fully-charged lights for sale and limited EVO DOWNHILL PACKAGE (EVO on the bars & HANGOVER on the helmet) rental units for $30 for the night for the complete set, whether you want to demo them as a performance upgrade to your current setup, or if you don’t have lights and want a solid setup for the race without purchasing. If you decide to purchase after the race, the $30 goes towards the purchase. The Pro Men’s race winner used these lights last year, just sayin…
