aro valley's favourite enduro returns
The Wellington Enduro Series returns to the swooping trails of Aro Valley and Te Kopohau, with the 2022 Waimapihi Enduro.
As with previous years, we'll have a hard and an intermediate course, with a mixture of the classics and some OG classics back in the mix. The race will have multiple timed stages, and a "king and queen of the hill" award for the fastest male and female riders, and a little less climbing on the Barking Emu stage.

RACE COURSE
Race courses will be announced closer to the event, and will include an intermediate and a hard course. The hard course will be longer, have a bit more climbing, and counts towards Wellington Enduro Series points.
Intermediate - will be suitable for riders happy with intermediate level trails
Hard - Faster, harder, and a wee bit more of an adventure. Anticipate a little bit more riding
**NOTE** Wellington Enduro Series points will only be available for those racing in the Advanced category only!
RACE TIMETABLE
The Event Village will be located at the grassy field at the bottom of Waimapihi/Polhill Reserve on Aro Street. As with previous rounds, in the COVID-19 Red setting, we have to limit the number of riders to 100, so we'll be running a morning and an afternoon wave, ordered by age and course classes. We'll announce the waves when we see the mix of riders in each age group. Expect a morning wave to have registration from 7:30, with race start around 9am, and wave 2 with race registration from 10:15, and race start at around 11:30
