Mountain Bike Racing Resumes in Thailand with the Upcoming Trailhead Enduro

After what has been a challenging time for everyone, one of Chiang Mai’s leading mountain bike tour operators – Trailhead Thailand is proud to be hosting the Trailhead Enduro on the 6th and 7th November 2021 at Khao Yai Thien, Nakhon Ratchasima province which is approximately 3 hours Northeast of Bangkok.

The event is being organized by the same team who bought you the Amazing Thailand International Chiang Mai Enduro, which was part of the Asia-Pacific Continental Series of the EWS, and the same high standards will ensure a memorable time will be had by all participants.

The emphasis of the event is to relax and have fun with old friends and new, participating in a fun race format that allows beginners the opportunity to experience an enduro race for the first time whilst at the same time seasoned riders can enjoy the amazing trails that Khao Yai Thien has to offer and return to competing against fellow mountain bikers.

There are plenty of categories including a dedicated hardtail category as well as novice category to make the Trailhead Enduro as inclusive as possible. The schedule and categories are as follows;

Sat 6 November | Practice Day
10.30 - 17.00 Registration
08.00 - 17.00 Free Practice
19.00 Bonus Night Stage (no race time calculated, not compulsory)

Sunday 7 November | Race Day

07.00 Late Registration and Timing Equipment Pickup
08.00 Race Briefing
08.15 Wave 1 Starts Liaison 1
08.30 Wave 1 Starts Special Stage 1
16.00 Award Presentation (approximate time)

It is hoped between 100-200 people will attend the event and as well as offering a fantastic weekend of riding for participants, it is hoped the local economy and local businesses will get a much needed boost as the region emerges from pandemic restrictions.

Khao Yai Thien is an idyllic mountain area with sweeping views of Lam Takhong reservoir and beyond. It is a popular escape for visitors from Bangkok due to its proximity and abundance of activities in the area. It is also close to Khao Yai, Thailand’s first national park established in 1962 and home to an abundance of wildlife and scenic spots.
