Race track and safety:
Enduro track consists of several so-called STs (speed tests) and transfers. STs are mainly downhill with a shorter section of elevation or flat passages.
Transfers are used to move racers from the final part of an ST to the start part of another ST. There will be a time limit set for the race, which can change on the day of the race depending on the weather or current conditions at Bratislava Enduro powered by Biker. News in this year’s event is race timekeeping thanks to which will the whole race be more comfortable for the racers and there will be no need to stop at the finish line!
Starting into the speed tests will happen under the supervision of starting judges and bikers will need to respect their instructions.
The deposit for the chip is 30 €, which the competitor gets back after the chip is returned after arrival at the finish line.

There will be refreshment stations on the track available for the racers.

The track is marked with marking tape and directional signs. The final track will be ready for training on Saturday 15th of October. Training on the race track is possible at your own risk. There will be no medical assistance available during the training. Medical service is provided only during the main race.
In case of circumstances beyond control, the organizer has the right to terminate the race prematurely. To determine the ranking, only those STs will be counted which were finished by all starting racers, excluding those racers who didn’t finish the race for other reasons.
 
In case a person under 18 years of age starts at the event, a legal representative must be present at the registration to sign a declaration of responsibility on the spot.

Each participant should behave fairly, respectfully, and not to endanger his/her or other people’s health or life.
