Blind enduro racing is a single-day event, with no practice of the race stages. The first time you will ride the trails will be on your timed runs. This is an old-school form of racing that rewards riders who can read terrain and ride consistently fast but within their limits. Timing will be provided by SportIdent.

The entry fee for the event is £60. Parking is free.

The event is aimed at riders who have progressed beyond trail centre riding and are used to riding ungraded, unsurfaced, hand-constructed trails. The race loop is approx 32km /with 1100m of elevation.

The event is a single day enduro, and as such we offer no camping or overnight provision. However, should you choose to stay longer, Rothbury has lots to offer. It has its own council-maintained pump track and bike track. There are numerous walks along the beautiful river coquet to enjoy as well as a range of amenities such as cafes, bars, pubs, art galleries and independent shops to enjoy. If you enjoy gravel bike riding, you may have stumbled across heaven.

No. If you wish to arrive the night before the event or stay afterwards, you must make your own arrangements for sleeping. There are links to accommodation providers in the Useful links page.

Absolutely. We have lots of volunteers but our most critical need is for marshals. We offer £50 to cover your expenses, as well as a packed lunch. If you are interested to know more, please email: info@coquetclassic.co.uk with “marshal” as the subject line.
