Pisgah Enduro

Experience the thrill of the Pisgah Enduro, set amidst the rugged beauty of Old Fort's historic Camp Grier within Pisgah National Forest. This one-day enduro race challenges riders with technical singletrack and steep climbs along the Blue Ridge Mountains' escarpment, offering dizzying descents that will test your skills to their limits.
The course begins at the shadow of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. Stages one and two combine for a grueling 4.5 miles with over 3000 feet of elevation drop. Stage three sees you tackle an awe-inspiring trail that parallels Interstate 40 before descending another 1300 feet in just 2.5 miles to reach the finish line.
Camp Grier, your home for the weekend, offers more than just a place to rest. Enjoy a lakefront setting complete with a pump track and post-race festivities including a cookout that promises hearty meals after intense racing. Whether you choose bunkhouse accommodations or car/tent camping, this venue provides everything needed for an unforgettable experience.
The race kicks off on Saturday at 2:00 PM with both camping and bunkhouses opening their doors. Spend the evening unwinding from your first day of riding before getting ready to tackle stage one by noon on Sunday. The start/finish area is conveniently located back at Camp Grier, ensuring easy access to all amenities.
Participants must adhere to strict rules designed to ensure a fair competition. Helmets are mandatory throughout the event, and every rider must complete each stage without cutting corners or using electric-assist bikes.
