GARIGAL CUP26 ROUND 5- NOVEMBER 15TH

GARIGAL CUP 2026

We’re keeping the same enduro spirit that makes this series unique: tracks will only be released at the last minute. No over-training, no pre-riding — just pure race-day riding. It keeps things fair, spontaneous, and all about skill.

To keep things exciting, the Open categories will race more stages, while Juniors, Masters, and age groups will take on one or two stages max.

The Garigal Cup is designed to stay simple and affordable — so don’t expect a big TV-style production or prize money. What you can expect is what really matters: good vibes.

Thanks to the support of our partners and organisers, we’ll have some awesome prizes for the overall winners (Open Men & Open Women) helping support grassroots riders pushing to the next level.

See you on the start line.
