The Vurbmoto 500 Heads East to Lincoln Trail Oct 10-11

The 500 would not be possible without the support of Michelin, Maxima, MotoSport, and Moose. Along with associate sponsors Yamaha, MX Sponsor 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.

After selling out The 500 West in 2024 and 2025 we felt like the East was missing out, so we decided to go to the Midwest. And what better place than Lincoln Trail Motosports?! 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, 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 aiming for the pro purse or a weekend warrior looking for some fundurance with your buddies, The 500 East 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.

WHEN CAN I SIGN UP?

Registration will go live on 8/20/2025. This event will be limited to 200 teams and will sell out. Please check back on 8/20/2025 at 8am CST to register.

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. (Note: If you ain’t jumping, get out of our way, because Team Vurb is coming for gold.)

WHAT’S NEW?

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 COST

Classes are limited, but the fundurance is never ending. Course features: 2 moto tracks, trails and everything in. between.

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.
