The world's top riders are being invited along to rip it up for the prize money, and the big teams have all been approached. The aim is to offer a top quality enduro race, fit for the world's best riders - and the rest of us - on some of the best trails the UK has to offer. We hope you can make it to the Tweed Valley for what's going to be another fantastic and friendly weekend in the UK's best riding destination!
After a sell-out in 2016, the TweedLove Triple Crown is back for 2017, with new courses, new stages and SI Air system timing* (no dibbing) at all three rounds. This is the place to come for enduro racing in 2017, with the best enduro tracks in the UK, and some as good as you'll find anywhere on the planet.
We aim to provide the best courses, the best organisation, the best atmosphere and the friendliest, best value enduro events in the country. We've built up a great track record over the lasy 6 years hosting the biggest international enduro races right through to local community races, and we'll be working harder than ever to make sure everyone has a great, safe, and rad time racing with us in 2017.
All riders can choose if they want to be seeded for each of the races or, alternatively, they can choose a start time at event registration so they can ride with their mates all the way round the course. Seeded riders have pre-set start times for every stage of the race and face penalties if they miss their start times. Being seeded means you will have much less chance of encountering traffic while on the race course, with no uncertain queuing at stage starts.
*If you own a SPORTident Air Timing / Active Timing Card and would like to use it in any of the three TweedLove Triple Crown Enduros this year, please complete this form. If you use your own Timing Card, you will be reimbursed £3.60 - you will only receive this discount if you complete the form at least 3 weeks prior to the event you wish to use it in.
