IRC Endurofest made its way to the North Shore of Oahu over the March 12-13 weekend, featuring hard enduro clinics and the Kahuku Hard Scramble race.

Elevated Action Sports partnered up with the Hawaii Motorsports Association to create an event that celebrated the Hawaiian off-road riding culture, since most hard enduro-based resources remain on the mainland. FactoryONE Sherco’s Cody Webb and IRC Tire’s Rich Larsen flew over to the islands and borrowed bikes to teach several hard enduro clinics on Saturday and race the three-hour hard scramble on Sunday. Race Director, Kapili Olson, and his crew set up a 12-mile course around the Kahuku Motocross Park grounds. There were over 350 racers entered in a variety of classes from youth to AA, and the HMA built separate courses and splits to accommodate.
The more advanced courses trekked up and down the steep canyons, going through very slick creek beds and a treacherous waterfall that held up racers all day. It rained a few days beforehand, so the conditions under the canopy and in the creeks were ideal for an extreme race.
Webb carried the lead all race long but was penalized time due to a missed section while being out front. He still won the race after the penalty and shared the top-five with two Satterfield brothers from Kauai, Larsen (from Utah) and Jared Lambe, who lives on Oahu.
