SEPTEMBER 2023
2-3 SEPT : BATTLE OF THE PROSPECTORS
September 2-3 The Battle of the Prospectors is an extreme hare scramble that takes place in the former mining town of Murodochville, right in the heart of the beautiful Gaspésie region (Qc, Canada). What sets this event apart is the number of hills and the beautiful landscapes. Riders can expect multiple climbs, descents, and off-camber sections in several types of terrain: very tight single track, mountain bike trails, and rock fields. A Hard Enduro unique in Canada! Registration for the 2023 edition will open later this spring. Don’t miss it! Battle of the Prospectors is a hard enduro style hare scramble that takes place over 2 days: Saturday: 1st Amateur round and 1st Expert round (to determine the order of participants on the starting line on Sunday). Sunday: 2nd round (final) on another course with individual starts every 10 seconds. The results of Sunday’s heat will determine the final results of the event. MORE INFO: BOTP
