Enduro is a form of mountain bike racing that takes place over one or two days and involves three to six timed stages. The timed portions of the race occur mostly downhill with untimed transfer stages between that are mostly uphill. The finished times for each stage are added up for an overall time.
The Big Mountain Enduro race includes five tour stops throughout the country. The winner must complete four of the five stops (if all five are completed, then the lowest score is dropped) and the overall title is awarded to the person with the most points following the 2023 Finals.
