Eastern States Cup – Stan’s Enduro Series Arrowhead

The Eastern States Cup (ESC) is one of our favorite mountain bike racing series in the US. The 5th stop of the ESC – Stan’s Enduro Series is at Arrowhead Recreational Area. In past years they put together a multi-stage race that utilized a wide variety of their terrain. If 2022 has any meaning then 2023 will not be lift-assisted, so racers should be prepared for a lot of pedaling on the transfers.

History

The MAXXIS Eastern States Cup (i.e. ESC) began in 2010 as a USA Cycling Eastern Regional Downhill MTB Championship Series, with two USA Cycling State Championships. Over the years they’ve continued to expand. As part of this series they added the Enduro Series in 2013.
