Happy Monday Off Road Community! Next weekend marks round 13 for our series with the Straight Arrow Enduro riders hosting the 55th annual Duquette Moose Run Enduro! All the information below can also be found on the Straight Arrow Enduro Riders website.
Additional information will be posted when available!
AUGUST 17th & 18th, 2024
Online Sign Up Strongly Encouraged
The Straight Arrow Enduro Riders run the annual Duquette / Moose Run Enduro. It starts in the town of Duquette MN, about 30 miles south of Duluth on scenic MN Highway 23. The Enduro is a long course through Minnesota’s Nemadji State Forest and Douglas County WI, featuring trails that vary from fast two-tracks to tight singletrack, with an overall distance of 60 – 75 miles.
We use the START CONTROL FORMAT, just like the National Enduro Series. No timing keeping equipment is needed, you are scored by your ability to get your best times in the tests. This makes it a good first Enduro, yet it’s still a challenge for Enduro veterans. It’s got a well-deserved reputation as a fun ride for all skill levels.
