After a 16-year absence, the Enduro World Championship will return to its home of Mid Wales this August.

The event is being hosted by Rhayader Motor Cycle & Light Car Club in partnership with Saintswell Events. The Rhayader Motor Club, renowned for organising prestigious events, first ran a round of the World Enduro Championship in 1992. The Club has since carved out a deserved reputation as one the UK's leading motorcycle clubs.  

In order to deliver the highest quality event, the Enduro GP of Wales will receive support from many enduro clubs and individuals. The action-packed event starts on Friday, August 2 and runs until Sunday August 4 with competitors covering a 200-mile route over the weekend. The Paddock, Super Test and Cross Test are based at Cwmythig Hill, near Rhayader and the event uses the Abbeycwmhir forests to link in with Saintswell Enduro Centre, where the Extreme and Enduro Tests will be situated.

The event has attracted competitors from across the world.

The entry is headed by Britain’s World Champions of Steve Holcombe and Brad Freeman with stiff competition from series leader, Spain’s Josep Garcia and Italy’s Andrea Verona. The event will also include, for the first time, a round of the Women’s World Enduro Championship which is currently led by Spain’s Mireia Badia as the current World Champion.

Steve Holcombe, nine-time World Champion, said: “Everyone in the UK knows how good Rhayader Club enduro events are, and how strong the club is. The fact that they're organising an Enduro GP World Championship event in 2024 is great news.

“For all the British riders, all the British enduro fans, it's going to be an event to remember. I can't wait to ride on British soil - the Enduro GP of Wales is going to be an amazing weekend!”

The Event will consist of three days of riding starting with the Super Test on Friday evening at Cwmythig Hill. The Saturday and Sunday will see the world’s best riders compete in two full days of enduroing. 

Bringing the World Championship back to the UK does not come cheap with huge investment of new infrastructure at Cwmythig and Saintswell to bring the facilities up to the standard required to run the eventtogether with organisational costs, such as live timing and medical facilities. Despite exploring avenues of grants and funding they are 95 per self-funded, therefore, to make the GP a success they are ticketing the event. The tickets are priced to give amazing value for money and will give you full access to the Paddock and the entertainment based at Cwmythig, the Super Test and all three Special Tests.
