The EWS organizers are stepping on the gas: The Continental Series will initially start in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region with at least nine events and will rely on partnerships with local organizers. In the future, the races will also take place in South America and Africa.

The new series is intended to enable talented young riders to get into racing and secure places for the EWS: Results in the Continental Series will feed into a new EWS points structure, making it possible for EWS members to earn EWS ranking points.www.enduroworldseries.com
