Tarland - Aberdeenshire Enduro

We’re returning to the fabulous Tarland Trails centre for the final round of the Aberdeenshire Enduro Series 2024 (#AES2024). Aberdeenshire's first ever fully purpose built trail centre has been hugely popular since opening in spring 2023. It’s helping lots of new riders access the amazing sport of mountain biking, as well as appealing to more experienced riders. With trails consisting of sweeping turns, big berms, jumps, technical riding, it will have you whooping as you race down them!

An enduro race is where riders are timed in stages that are primarily downhill, with neutral transfer stages in between. We will run this event in a “mash up” format, allowing riders to choose the order to ride the trails, as well as how many times to race each one. You just need to complete all of the set trails at least once and be back in the event village by the cut off time. For riders to complete all stages we reckon it will be roughly 25km with 800m of climb but as you’ll be able to do the trails more than once the time is your limit. As for other events, the lite route will omit the technically trickiest stage. The routes are aimed to be rideable by reasonably competent mountain bikers. If you’re new to this location, or riding in enduros, plenty of local coaching and guiding companies, including some of our fantastic sponsors, will be able to help you get familiar with Tarland and provide some helpful riding tips, before the race.

Our one day events have a fun and friendly atmosphere. We attract all levels of rider, from the seriously competitive, to those just looking for a brilliant day in the hills in good company. We have a wide range of categories for male and female riders of all ages, including full suss, hard tail and ebikes. We are proud to be the only Scottish event with entry for 9-12 year old riders (accompanied by an adult chaperone). All categories have great prizes provided by our fantastic sponsors, which are Scottish businesses, mainly based in our Aberdeenshire home area. Afterwards you’ll be able to catch up with friends old and new in the event village and pick up some tasty hot food and drinks from our onsite caterer. So bring a card or some change!
