enduro
Grueling trail race
Enduro is a form of long-distance motorcycle or bicycle racing that tests endurance over rough terrain, typically through timed stages on trails, dirt roads, and natural obstacles.
The format emphasizes stamina and consistency rather than pure speed: He spent weekends competing in enduro events.
The term also describes motorcycles and bicycles designed for such racing, built to handle both off-road punishment and sustained distances.
