THE VIBE
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
The short version: The best, worst decision you’ll ever make. The 500 is 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 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, 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.
WHAT'S NEW
What can you expect in year three? We are expanding the track and making it bigger!
Pit Locations: Pits are sold individually and will represent your starting position (New for 2026). For example, all 01 pit locations will start first, followed by the 02 locations, and so on. Want to get a jump on the competition, better be near the front.
Pit locations 101-125 will allow for one race support rig (RV, Trailer, Van, Etc.) on pit lane. Purchase early, the club is limited to just 25 teams.
Pitting: Riders are not required to pit. If you want to torture yourself with muliple laps, you can skip pit lane.
When pitting, you will ONLY go down your respective pit lane (see map below). Also of note, all pit lanes will be a mandatory 10mph speed limit. Riders breaking the speed limit will be subject to disqualification.
Pricing has changed this year. It’s a bit more complicated than this, but know the better the starting position, the more your spot costs. But now there’s no pro class. Everyone is eligible for the purse in the overall ranking. Part of the price increase will go into the purse. Details on that later. If you have questions, let us know at [email protected] and we’ll get you dialed.
CLASS LIST
Class structure will remain the same in 2026. If you are unfamiliar with class structure, here is how it works. Classes will be based on the combined age of the overall team as of the day of the race. For example, a team of four 25-year-old riders would register for the 91-119yrs old class. A team of a 40-year-old, a 50-year-old, a 60-year-old and a 20-year-old would sign up for the 160yr plus class.
