The event takes place on the Mobility Resort Motegi Road Course, a 4.8 km European-style track that hosts international competitions such as MotoGP. This year, the organizers are once again creating a unique festival atmosphere — part race, part community gathering — with challenges, medals, and the chance to ride on a professional circuit.

What is Motegi Enduro?
The Motegi Enduro (もてぎエンデューロ) is a large-scale cycling event where riders compete to see how many laps they can complete within a set time — 2, 4, or 6 hours — either solo or as part of a team. Unlike conventional road races, endurance cycling rewards pacing, stamina, and strategy. It’s a battle not just against other participants, but against your own limits.
The event’s philosophy is “cycling for everyone”. Whether you’re an experienced athlete, a weekend hobbyist, or a family looking to enjoy a day on the circuit, there’s a category that fits your level. And because the course is a closed circuit, the environment is safe, well-controlled, and professionally supported — complete with race control towers, medical staff, and pit zones.
