Are you ready for the Officially Unofficial World Chainless Enduro Championships? Yep it's the worlds only chainless enduro race so we're calling it the World Champs.

Riders are encouraged to ride chainless, but it's not mandatory and the results won't be split up.

Small change to the maps and course release this year. You can see the full route, but stage starts and finishes are going blind. There will still be the same three stages as all past years, they will be of the same variety and flavour. No we won't be adding in any massive amounts of uphill timed climbing, but they might just be a wee bit.

Post Race apres will be held at Lynn Valley Bikes Bikes, 3028 Mountain Hwy, North Vancouver.

Please note that there will be a cap of 200 riders for each Fiver.

The Fast-track line will ONLY be available for those who have purchased the Fiver season Pass and have their own Timing Chip.
