N24 Series

The N24 series is a collection of endurance mountain bike races that are designed to test the physical and mental capabilities of participants over a grueling 24-hour period. These races take place in various locations and are known for their challenging terrain and demanding conditions. Three notable races in the N24 series include “24 Hours in the Enchanted Forest,” “Oregon 24/12,” and “25 Hours in Frog Hollow.” Strambecco provides a full event profile for each event, but here’s a brief description:

1. 24 Hours in the Enchanted Forest: This race is held in the Enchanted Forest Trail System, which is located in the beautiful state of Oregon, United States. Participants navigate through a network of scenic trails encompassing lush forests, winding singletracks, and challenging climbs. The event welcomes both solo riders and teams who strive to cover the maximum distance within the 24-hour timeframe. The Enchanted Forest race is renowned for its well-maintained trails and a vibrant atmosphere that keeps riders motivated throughout the race.
2. Oregon 24/12: Oregon 24/12 is another prominent race in the N24 series and is also held in Oregon, known for its diverse and picturesque landscapes. This event offers two race options: the 24-hour race and the 12-hour race. Riders can choose to participate individually or as part of a team, allowing for a range of strategies and approaches. The racecourse typically consists of a mix of technical sections, fast descents, and challenging climbs, ensuring a demanding and thrilling experience for participants of all skill levels.
3. 25 Hours in Frog Hollow: The 25 Hours in Frog Hollow race takes place in the Frog Hollow Recreation Area, situated in southwestern Utah, United States.
