The 500 would not be possible without the support of Michelin, Maxima, MotoSport, and Moose. Along with associate sponsors Yamaha, MX Sponsor, Fusion Graphix and Protracks Consulting, Inc.
The hardest 8 hours and 20 minutes of your life heads to Lincoln Trail Motosports in Casey, IL on October 11, 2025 and pre-reg is now open!
The 500 East is an 8-hr and 20 minute (500 total minutes) team or solo race with your boys (or girls) and 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.
The race is limited to 200 teams and spots sell out fast, so make sure to get signed up today!
Of note, you will see two different registration links below. The 500 East Race will take place Sat, Oct 11. You can ALSO pre-reg for The 500 East Practice on Fri, Oct 10 and the Sunday Hang Over Ride Day on Oct 12. PLEASE make sure to sign up for the correct event below.
WHAT’S NEW?
Part moto, part off-road! 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), averaging 17 min lap times. The loop will include terrain for the average rider along with a tamed down motocross track with no mandatory jumps.
What can you expect for the maiden 500 East? Trees! Less sand and a LOT more trees. Probably some roots, as well. 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).
We will be documenting the track build over the next few months, so be sure to check back for updates.
THE PRICE
Classes are limited, but the fundurance is never ending.
Note: THIS EVENT WILL BE CAPPED AT 200 TEAMS. There are no split payments – the team’s entry fee and any additional costs must be paid in full during online registration. We suggest signing up and then forming your team. Team riders will check in onsite at the event.
