Please watch our Virtual Enduro Racer Meeting as we will not have a live enduro racer’s meeting: Mandatory Virtual Enduro Racers Meeting Click Here
Enduro Racers must be present when their class is called up to activate their chips. Do not start the race without doing so or you will not get your racing times and be DQ’d.

We will NOT have printed maps for this event as the course is easy to follow, so if you want one please print it.
$100 ENDURO TIMING CHIPS – We will be using our SIAC Fly By timing system for this ENDURO event. Please note if you do not return the SIAC Timing Chip you will owe us $100. Yes they cost that much. Other enduro series require the racers to use their own or rent them plus a deposit. We trust our racers until proven otherwise so please make sure to return the chip if you decide to leave early.
Please Note: GPS units on bars or stem may interfere with the SIAC Timing Chip so it’s best not to use one
Enduro Racers must be present at the racers meeting where we will activate their chips.
CANNONDALE Bike Class – The Cannondale Ebike Class is NOT competing this weekend
NO Ebikes allowed this weekend at Killington. If a racer is using an e-bike, electric motorcycle, or gas motorcycle on the Killington property, they will incur a time penalty or disqualification. Sorry about this, but we don’t want anyone to gain any unfair advantages.
