About
The First Tracks Enduro Cup is a Mountain bikers dream! It will test your skill, fitness and metal on some of the finest trails in Ireland. Our goal is to create a friendly atmosphere – so you can relax, ride with your friends and get down to the serious business of ‘bragging rights!’
There is the option to ride a leisurely 30km route with approximately 900m of ascending or if you're feeling fit try the 60km option. Just decide on the day. When you're finished you will receive an event medal and celebrate at our BBQ.

Round 1 - Gortin Glen, Omagh, Co Tyrone - Mash-up format
Stages total - Youth & Challenger 3, E-bike 5, Enduro 4 (with optional 5th stage if you want to be crowned the King/Queen of Gortin)
Each venue has its own unique set of challenges. Riders will visit some of Ireland’s most iconic mountain biking destinations along the way. It is aimed at intermediate – advanced riders that will race individually against the clock on the best terrain available at each venue.
Each race consists of up to 6 timed stages consisting of natural single track/ trail centre and are mostly gravity orientated. The lap including transitions and stages are approximately 16-24km. Stage times will be added together for a total time that will decide positions in each category. Transitions are mainly on fire road or single track and are NOT timed. Riders can chill with friends and make their way to the next stage at their own pace. Keep in mind there will be a time limit and cut offs in place for rider safety although this is set at a relaxed pace. The important bits are the descents! We are using the most reliable, non contact timing system available so riders can focus on the fun part. Specific information for each round will become available to competitors via email, social media and a briefing on the run up and at each event.
Riders must hold a current Cycling Ireland race licence (or equivalent) or purchase a one day licence when entering.
Cycling Ireland will NOT be offering one day licence to riders UNDER 18 (age on the day) - you need to be a member of Cycling Ireland.
