THE FESTIVAL
The Ard Rock Enduro Festival is based near the beautiful village of Reeth in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and it’s supported by some of the World’s biggest mountain bike brands including title sponsors Santa Cruz Bicycles and Maxxis Tyres. Whilst the main focus is on the Ard Rock Enduro competition and challenge events, Ard Rock is also a fun festival that includes an exhibition with a full 150 of the best bike brands, live music, full camping facilities, demo bikes for adults and kids, a pump track, food stands and a fully licensed bar. From Friday to Sunday there’s plenty to do for racers and supporters.
THE RACING
The Ard Rock Enduro takes place in the Swaledale area of the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park. The exclusive routes and one-off trails specially designed for the weekend mean the Ard Rock is a unique adventure that takes in gnarly, rock-strewn terrain only ridable in the event. The five main events at Ard Rock are the Enduro, the Sprint, Marathon, Sport, and Intro. Start times are sent out to all competitors three weeks before the event. Check out the events here.

CAMPING AND PARKING
Please note that COVID-19 may affect the running of Ard Rock 2021. We will not sell camping tickets until July 2021.
There are two Camping options at Ard Rock, the standard campsite and the family campsite. Standard camping is available onsite from 1900 on Thursday and you can stay until Monday morning.
The standard camping fields have hot pay per shower units.
The family camping area is a five-minute walk away from the main event village and is close to the village of Reeth and the Reeth shop. It has indoor toilets, changing and showers, and it’s perfect for families or competitors that want to be a little bit further away from the event village.
