Background
The Junior Enduro riders (boys / girls) 360° Pathway is an education-first initiative that gives women, and young riders real access to Enduro before they feel ready to race at world level. Over a focused two-day camp on licensed tracks, participants will learn in small groups with professional / licensed coaches who will combine classroom learning with supervised riding. The aim is simple: turn interest into ability, build confidence step by step, and create a clear, welcoming route into the sport where the next step is – participation in higher level events – like the FIM Enduro Junior World Cup (men / women).
