BEMBA press release

The series will take place in England, Scotland and Wales throughout 2020 and will be made up of 6 races. The races will be organised by teams behind Tweedlove, Welsh Gravity Enduro Series, Southern Enduro, PMBA Enduro, No Fuss Events and Northern Downhill.

The inaugural 2019 series was a great success, with almost 3000 competitors over the 6 rounds; a far cry from the last few attempts at a single organiser national enduro series. We are hoping that 3 of the 6 rounds will be announced as EWS qualifiers as well, fitting for the national series.

Round 3 at Minehead will double as the National Championships, a one-off event BEMBA started 3 years ago to find the fastest racers in the country and award our own BEMBA national champions jerseys.

Just like the series final in 2019 where all the stages were fresh we finish with a fresh stage bonanza up in Kielder. A level playing field for all racers.

2020 BEMBA National Enduro Series (BNES) dates and venues:

Round 1: March 21 & 22nd Glentress, Scotland
Organised by the TweedLove team the popular “Vallelujah” enduro will open the series with an all-weather mix of trail centre and off-piste stages. Expect big stages from this opening round which is also round 1 of TweedLove’s Triple Crown series.

Round 4: August 8th & 9th, Llangollen, Wales

Expect 5 Steep, rough and fast DH style tracks leading into grassy field sprint finishes.

Round 6: October 24 & 25th, Kielder, North England
The final heads the far north of England to the biggest man-made lake in Northern Europe and, at over 250 square miles, the largest working forest in England. With a venue so vast we are very much looking forward to what the “Northern Downhill” team will serve up at this fresh venue. Including a 6min 320M (1050ft) descent amongst the hand-built never raced stages. The team will be busy building all summer this will be an awesome final full of fresh stages.
