You don’t need another normal race on your calendar.

You need one that you’ll never forget.

The 500 East presented by Michelin returns to Lincoln Trail in Casey, IL, October 16-17.

Part off-road, part moto, all fun! An 8-hr and 20 minute (500 total minutes) Fundurance team (or solo for you crazies) event that combines two tamed down moto tracks, a 5-6 mile off-road loop, and a hard enduro section (don’t worry, we have a Scaredy Cat Lane), averaging 17 min lap times. This race isn’t about lap times or gate picks. It’s about hanging out with great friends, riding your dirt bike and enjoying some laughs. Grab your buddies and make a decision you can regret together. 

WHO CAN RACE? 

Up to 4 rider teams or go solo

85/Supermini and up. (12yrs and older). Spots are limited, but the fundurance is never ending. 

Course features: 2 moto tracks, trails and everything in between.
