The Enduro World Series released its full list of official EWS Qualifier events, including three races here in Canada. EWS Qualifier events are the races that allow riders to earn points to join the main Enduro World Series events in the pro categories.

The three qualifier events taking place in Canada are split between B.C. and Quebec. OneUp Squamish Enduro and the Vedder Mountain Bike Festival give racers two opportunities to earn points early in May. Then Marin Wildside Enduro’s Mont Lac-Vert event gives Canada’s eastern riders a go in July.

These add to the full Norco Canadian Enduro Series event calendar, which is out now for 2022, and the Marin Wildside Enduro series, which will be released in early February.

The full updated 2022 EWS calendar runs from June 4 – October 1. While southern hemisphere events were pulled due to ongoing travel restrictions, the series does make its return to North America this season. Whistler EWS returns for the first time since 2019 along with two U.S.-based events. The Trophy of Nations is also back for 2022, capping off the season in Finale Ligure, Italy.
