About Ard Rock Enduro
Tucked into the rugged embrace of the Yorkshire Dales, the Ard Rock Enduro Festival is a high-octane celebration of adventure, adrenaline, and the awe-inspiring landscape that defines this corner of North Yorkshire. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, limestone crags, and sweeping valleys, the festival transforms the peaceful dales into a buzzing hive of energy, excitement and community.
Riders from across the UK and beyond descend on this iconic location for a weekend of thrilling enduro racing over natural terrain shaped by centuries of geological drama. The courses weave through ancient trails, technical descents, and breathtaking ridgelines, offering both challenge and reward in equal measure.
But Ard Rock is more than just a race – it’s a festival in every sense. Live music, artisan food, bike demos, and a vibrant expo create a dynamic atmosphere that celebrates the spirit of mountain biking and the landscape it calls home. Whether you’re racing, spectating, or simply soaking up the buzz, Ard Rock captures the heart of adventure in the Dales. It’s a weekend of mud, grit, laughter, and unforgettable views – a true gathering for those who live for the ride.
