About National Hard Enduro
Hard Enduro is the most demanding form of off-road motorcycle racing—steep climbs, rock gardens, river crossings, and terrain that tests both skill and endurance. The U.S. Hard Enduro Series unites these challenges into one national championship, showcasing the toughest riders across the most rugged terrain in the country.
Origins
The series was founded to bring world-class hard enduro competition to the United States under the sanction of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA). Modeled after the legendary European events that defined the sport, it created a home for riders who wanted to compete on American soil at the highest level of difficulty.
Evolution
Since its inception, the series has grown from a small collection of extreme races into a nationwide championship. With rounds now spanning from Hawaii to Pennsylvania, the National Hard Enduro Series continues to expand its reach, media presence, and level of competition. Each season brings new venues, stronger fields, and greater recognition for the sport of hard enduro in America.
Mission
Our mission is to elevate hard enduro racing in the United States through world-class events, fair competition, and community growth. We’re committed to supporting promoters, developing riders, and providing a platform that reflects the true spirit of endurance racing.
