THE VIBE

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

The short version: After selling out in 2024, we’re back for the second annual 500. An 8-hr and 20 minute (500 total minutes) team or solo race with your boys (or girls). The course will consist of two tamed down moto tracks and a 5-6 mile off-road loop, and a hard enduro section (don’t worry, we have a Scaredy Cat Lane), averaging 17 min lap times. Whether you are a Hard Enduro Champion aiming for the pro purse or a weekend warrior looking for fun with your buddies, The 500 West is a perfect mix for all skill levels. The goal? Have fun, kick some beers, race your buddies and try not to throw up. Oh, and do more laps than whoever you’re trying to beat.

WHO CAN RACE?

85/Supermini and up.

THE COURSE

Part moto, part off-road! The loop will be a unique course with an average lap time of 17 minutes. The loop will include terrain for the average rider along with a tamed down motocross track with no mandatory jumps. Again, this is a vibe race and will be built for all rider disciplines. (Note: If you ain’t jumping, get out of our way, because Team Vurb is coming for gold.

WHAT'S NEW

A lot has changed for the second iteration of The 500 West. What can you expect in year two? We are expanding the track and making it bigger! Riders will be greeted with an even gnarlier FMF EnduroCross section (yes, we will have an easy route for riders like Vurb Crane), more options and a revamped pit lane.

What’s new with the pit lane? A lot, glad you asked. You will ONLY go down your respective pit lane (see map below) and pitting will now be optional. If you want to stay out for multiple laps and skip pit lane, you can. Talk about another component to add in to your team’s strategy! Also of note, all pit lanes will be a mandatory 10mph speed limit. Ultimately, this means pitting will be way safer AND way less dusty.

In addition, we’re completely changing the Pit Viper finish (now located following the EnduroCross section) so you can experience the pure joy of completing one of the hardest things you’ve ever done with a massive crowd cheering you on – and probably a Mariachi band and adult beverages as well.
