PARRY SOUND - The Town of Parry Sound has formally accepted the invitation from the Federation of International Motorcyclisme to host the 2007 World Enduro Championships (WEC) in July.
In a partnership with World Enduro Canada, Parry Sound will host the two-day event on July 28 and 29. The resolution was passed at town council’s September 19 meeting.
Brought to North America for the first time this year by organizers Lawrence Hacking and Sean Wiesner, the off-road, street legal motorcycle race brought about 120 competitors to the area from around the world.
The participants praised organizers and the town for the quality of the first-ever version of the race to be hosted in Canada.
The event was expected to draw thousands of spectators from around the world, and although it did draw international crowds, organizers hope more people attend next year.
In the event, each cyclist must ride the 50-kilometre course four times, for six to seven consecutive hours, and take part in special tests. This means that they will, in effect, be riding about 200 kilometres during the two-day event.
Competitors earn points at each event, which are accumulated to determine the year’s world champion of enduro riding.
When the invitation to host again was first made, town economic development and project manager Lynn Middaugh said she requested the town host the event in August instead of July.
“We were advised against that,â€Â
I wil be there again for sure.
