Hope Women Enduro - Forest of Dean

The Hope Women Enduro returns as an eagerly anticipated highlight on the cycling calendar, set to take place in 2026. This women-only event is tailored specifically for those looking to experience their first enduro race or seasoned racers seeking a social and supportive environment. The Forest of Dean has been chosen once again as the venue following its successful debut last year.
Building upon years of positive feedback from previous events held at various locations, including Gisburn in 2023, this edition promises to be an unforgettable weekend for all participants. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran racer, the event offers something unique and enjoyable for everyone involved.
The race features two distinct courses: LITE and FULL. The choice between these depends on which stage you start from; initiating your run at Stage 5 automatically places you in the FULL course, while starting elsewhere qualifies you for the LITE option. This flexibility ensures that every participant can tailor their experience to suit their comfort level.
In addition to traditional mountain bikes (MTB), electric mountain bikes (EMTB) are also welcome. Participants select either MTB or EMTB upon registration but have the final say when collecting their timing chip on Sunday morning, ensuring maximum adaptability for last-minute decisions.
