All New Endura Gravel Hillclimb

Yep, you heard it right. We have to apply to close Dukes Pass road 6 months in advance of the event so it’s just not been feasible this year. However plan B might just be better than plan A! This year we’re going to run the hillclimb on a gravel climb... and Endura have stepped in to be our official partner!

The route is still right next to the village and we’ll bring the same energy, carnival atmosphere and good times to it…. But it’s on gravel 🙌🏼.

We have a small number of 'hillclimb only' entries so far and we do appreciate that there may be some ‘asphalt only’ riders in there. So if you are one of them and wish to withdraw please go to SI Entries to select 'withdraw.'

New Entries Available - 11th August.

We currently have a host of entries rolled over from 2020 however we are also shortly going to offer some more new places. So here is the plan!

We want to ensure that we have the support of both our local community and fall within government restrictions so following the Scottish Governments update announcement on 9th August (assuming it is feasible) we will offer new spaces (likely 100-150 spots) on the 11th August. More info to come... You'll need to be quick!

Adaptive Handbike/Recumbent

We’ve been out in the trails with a few friends on handbikes recently so decided we wanted to lead the way in UK gravel events and have an Adaptive Handbike/Recumbent accessible route and category. More info to come but these will open on 11th August with other new entry slots.

Other Details

The best news is the Kids Enduro and Main Enduro will be operating as normal - absolutely stunning route, fantastic stages and beautiful views!

No film night: We’re gutted about this one but the reality is cramming 120 people into our local pub just isn’t feasible at the moment so there won't be a charity film night in 2021... It’s always been a big part of the weekend so we’ll look to bring it back for 2022!

It goes without saying that we’re operating under Scottish Government Covid guidelines, will do everything we can to keep people safe and the event is fully subject to whatever the applicable Covid guidelines are come the 11th/12th September.

Thanks everyone and looking forward to seeing you all in September
