By old we mean that it all started in Carlisle, England in 1913. Still, that tells you very little about the event, does it not? Hence, in order to appreciate what happened at this year's competition, it might be nice to know a little more.


The History of the International Six Days Enduro

Back when it first appeared in 1913, the International Six Days Enduro was actually called the International Six Day Trial. However, in 1980 it took on the name that it still holds today.

In essence, those first motorcycle events were held on the roads of that particular time period; today the event is more realistically off road. That said the International Six Days Enduro always was and continues to be a true test of driver and vehicle.

Up until 1974, the event was always held in Europe ( again, back then it was called the International Six Day Trial ). However, in 1974 it was held on a different continent for the first time ( in the United States ). Since that time the International Six Days Enduro has been held in Australia, Brazil, and New Zealand.

What is the International Six Days Enduro?

The event spans six days- hence, the six days in the title- and around 1,250 miles. The rules are quite strict in regard to time and stops.

In essence, the International Six Days Enduro is the Olympics of off road cycling.

Along with this, the event offers gold, silver, and bronze medals to individuals. Further, trophies are awarded at a team level for best national, junior national, club, and manufacturing teams.

The individual medals, however, are not awarded in the same fashion that Olympic medals are. Rather, they are given based on percentage of finishers ( or relative to the top performance ). Thus, the most recent event- held in New Zealand in 2006- gave gold medals to participants who finished within 10% of their classes' top racer's total time. Silver medals were given to those that fell within 50% of this benchmark, and all remaining finishers were given bronze medals.
