Swiss Cycling is awarding the "Swiss Mountain Bike Enduro Championships 2021" to the Swiss Enduro Series. The title fights will be held from October 9 to 10, 2021 as part of the "TRAILWORKS Swiss Enduro Series powered by SUBARU" in the Lötschental. Registration for the race will open on June 5 at 20:00 CET at swissenduro.ch. The race will be counted as both the "EWS Gold Qualifier" and the Swiss Enduro Championships. Licensed riders will therefore have the opportunity to collect points for the Enduro World Series, as well as compete for the coveted Swiss champion's jersey and other medals. The title will be awarded in the two categories "Men's Elite" and "Women's Elite".

"We are delighted that championship medals are being awarded in enduro in Switzerland for the first time. This premiere shows that the mountain bike nation of Switzerland is continuing to develop at a high level. This is an important sign - especially in view of the first combined mountain bike world championships, which will also be held in Valais in four years' time," says Annina Strub-Bühler, Head of Mountain Bike at Swiss Cycling.

Ambitious mountain bikers have the opportunity to gain their first racing experience in the "Open" categories on the same routes as the elite and to compete against their peers. In addition to the competition, the local organizers will take care of the well-being of the guests and put together an attractive supporting programme. Further information about the race and the region can be found on the relevant websites.
