New Scottish Enduro Association Launched
Scottish Cycling and Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland are delighted to launch an exciting opportunity for members of the enduro mountain bike racing community to come forward to support the formation of a volunteer led Scottish Enduro Association to support enduro racing, in line with other sustainable off-road series.
The Scottish Enduro Association would be supported by Scottish Cycling and DMBinS to deliver the Scottish Enduro Championships, and depending on the development of a strong officials workforce, run a Scottish Enduro Series in 2025 and beyond.
The newly formed association will require a committee of competent people in a range of roles, including people with experience of chair, secretary, treasurer, enduro course design, and marketing and communications, particularly social media. For its inception, staff members of Scottish Cycling and DMBinS will select a qualified and experienced group with the required skillset, however it is anticipated that the association will adopt articles that require an AGM on annual basis.
The Scottish Enduro Association will be able to support the delivery of events, link with trails associations, help develop athletes and provide strategic overview and direction for enduro in Scotland.
Fraser Johnston, Head of Development (Clubs & Events), said
“With the successful British Enduro Champs being recently held at Ae Forest, we are delighted to be able to support the setup of the Scottish Enduro Association. We provide support to the existing Scottish MTB Cross Country Association (SXC) and the Scottish Downhill Association (SDA) and these are sustainable series’, which helps riders enjoy our sport and provide athletes with a pathway of events to achieve on the world stage. We believe that this model can help replicate that success for the Enduro discipline.”
Graeme McLean, Head of Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland, said:
“Enduro has been the largest mountain bike discipline in terms of participation since 2014. The launch of the Scottish Enduro Association provides an opportunity for the discipline to have a sustainable structure, made up of passionate, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable people from a variety of backgrounds, who can drive the discipline forward. We are delighted to help the process and hope this leads to what we all want - more sanctioned races and great experiences for riders on sustainable trail networks.”
