Kinlochleven to host Enduro World Series qualifying event
Riders will be able to enjoy the very best of the Highlands in November
NO FUSS Events has announced that Kinlochleven will host the UK’s only mountain bike Enduro World Series ( EWS) 2017 qualifier event.
The event, which is to be held in November of this year, will be hosted by Fort William- based No Fuss Events.
The first two rounds of the 2016 EWS in Chile and Argentina gathered a huge amount of media attention; a very positive sign for Kinlochleven and for Scotland. No Fuss and POC Scottish Enduro Series have been working with the EWS for the past two years.
Lochaber is a mountain bike venue with a reputation for some of the finest mountain bike trails and challenging enduro stages, and Kinlochleven will be the perfect venue for what will be the UK’s premier mountain bike enduro event in 2016.
Frazer Coupland, partner at No Fuss Events, said: ‘ We are delighted to be hosting this qualifier event.
‘ We have no doubt that the trails and the stages in Kinlochleven will deliver and riders will be able to enjoy the very best of the Highlands in November.’
Chris Ball, director of the Enduro World Series, said: ‘As a Scotsman myself, it’s an honour to be able to showcase the world-renowned big mountain backdrop with No Fuss Events in the iconic Kinlochleven.’
Extra attention
The recent announcement that the 2016 International Mountain Bike Conference – Innovation Edition - will be held in the Highlands in the days leading up to the EWS qualifier will bring extra attention to Lochaber.
Mr Coupland added: ‘ With the International Mountain Bike Conference and the EWS qualifier being staged in the Highlands in November the media spotlight will be firmly focused on Scotland’s outdoors and active tourism industry.
‘ We look forward to hosting riders, spectators and conference delegates to Kinlochleven for what will be a fantastic event showcasing the best enduro riding to be had in the UK.’
