	The Noosa Enduro July 2011 The Noosa Enduro - the mountain bike adventure race you don't want to miss! The events team have been working hard to scout new and improved trails and have come up with a fantastic new route for the avid Enduro rider. The Noosa Enduro is well-regarded as one of Australia's most exciting and challenging endurance races, held in one of the world's most popular destinations - Queensland's Sunshine Coast. The growth of this event has forced organizers to re-locate the start/finish from Tewantin to 2007 check point one at Stan Topper Park, Pomona. This opens up a whole new playground of trails. The new look course offers the best of last year's trails as well as some great new stuff that will not disappoint. The event incorporates two lively and diverse 50km courses. The advanced 50km course loops out of Pomona; a gut busting, hill climbing route incorporating the mighty 'Mother', the Cooran tablelands and the descent into the township of Kin Kin. The intermediate 50km course is a faster flowing yet tantalizing loop de loop through the Ringtail forest. The 100km will combine the best of both worlds with the 50km racers having a choice of courses. more details...
