Sox Gauteng Enduro Series
Sat 31 Jul - Sun 1 Aug 2021 @ Wallmannsthal AH, Gauteng


Organiser
Sox Footwear

The Sox Gauteng Enduro Series is a series of enduro style races in Gauteng.  This is a FUNDURO taking place at the popular Buffelsdrift Trail park over the weekend of 31 July to 1 August 2021.  It does not form part of the series - this is a fun event to get riders introduced to Enduro

Riders will receive a bespoke pair of Gauteng Enduro Series SOX – each event in the series will boost a different design and will only be available to riders who enter into the Gauteng Enduro Series.  


The aim is to encourage the growth of this exciting growing discipline in all age categories and to have fun in a safe environment.


At Buffelsdrift there are 6 enduro specific lines marked and numbered 1 to 6 with two climbs to get back to the top of the mountain. 


You have two days (Saturday & Sunday) to complete FOUR lines 2, 3, 5, 6  and not all six lines, and the total time of the selected 4 lines counts towards your final result.  Ride each line as many time as you wish – the fastest Strava time for each line will count towards your total race time.  The technical difficulty is relative to your skill, but the lines are rideable on a cross country bike albeit not the fastest option.


A&B lines are well marked, there are no gap jumps or super skilled sections however we do still recommend that you ride the line at your own pace to see all the challenges before attempting your race run flat out. 


The trails are open 7 days a week to ride, just make sure to buy your trail pass when you are riding outside of the official timing days.


Due to Covid regulations this is not a mass event with no start time.  Strict adherence to social distancing protocols will be observed at all times.  


Timing and leaderboard will be done only on Strava, make sure your profile and activity are public.
