The third installment of BMW's open international enduro
adventure challenge is right around the corner. This November, a U.S.
team will be chosen to travel to South America for a six-day event,
where they will meet and compete against fellow enduro enthusiasts from
all over the world. The qualifier events are scheduled for Sept. 21-23, 2012.

This already legendary BMW event stands for
adventure, sweat, fame, international camaraderie and lots of riding
fun. It's a fun adventure that challenges every rider to not only
perform well, but also to capture the experience in words and photos and
relay the trip out to the world. Some 50 riders from around the world
will demonstrate their team spirit, riding skill, tenacity and not least
of all, their social connection abilities. And although there’s only
one winning team in the end, it is always fascinating to see how gravel,
sand and mud can make so many riders so happy. It’s a social event as
much as a competition, and the shared experience and new friendships are
always the greatest reward.
For the national qualifying events,
anyone can compete as long as you bring a BMW to ride. In South
America, each will mount up on a BMW F 800 GS for most of the riding.
Over the course of the 2,000 km route, riders will also complete special
tests on a G 650 GS Sertao or a Boxer GS.
BMW owners in the USA have a choice of two National Qualifier Events in September- either Moab, UT or Spartanburg, SC. For details and more information visit
