Montana Enduro Series: 2024 Enduro Pescado
Race Details:

Queue up a hair metal playlist for the Enduro Pescado. It’s everything you need for good tacos and the best racing in Northwest Montana imaginable. From the top of the lift to the bottom of the run, you’re going to be grinning from ear to ear. Glacier National Park in the back yard. Techy, steep, rocky, palm-removing runs down, and a base area that leaves nothing to be desired. What else could you expect? It’s Whitefish. Outside of our homebase of Helena, Whitefish Mountain Resort is the longest-running stop on the Montana Enduro Series.

Packet pickup will be available Friday evening before the race, as well as Saturday morning. We highly recommend checking in on Friday. With an early start, that makes for a less stressful morning. If you check in Friday and something comes up to keep you from racing, you must return to the timing chip to us as soon as possible Otherwise, we have no way of accounting for you on race day. There is a mandatory racer meeting just before the race to cover safety, MES rules, and important course information.
