The 500 is back! The hardest 8 hours and 20 minutes of your life returns March 7-8 at Mesquite MX just outside Las Vegas, NV, and pre-reg is NOW open to the general public.
Reserve your spot for 2025 NOW for ONLY $50. And yes, this $50 deposit will go toward your team entry. It’s the perfect Christmas present.
WHAT IS THE 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, a 5-6 mile off-road loop, and a hard enduro section (don’t worry, we have a Scaredy Cat lane). This equates to an average 17-minute lap time for a novice.
Whether you are a Hard Enduro Champion aiming for the pro purse or a weekend warrior looking for fun with your buddies, The 500 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.
WHAT’S NEW?
A lot has changed for the second iteration of The 500. 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.
IMPORTANT
We are once again limiting this event to 200 teams, so reserve your spot today. Once we reach 200 teams, we will close sign-ups. Visit vurbmoto.com/500w for additional info.
