1994 marked the birth of this unique offroad event. In those days, Enduro motorcycling lay in agony and despair. Andreas Werth and Karl Katoch, in a common effort, they lay the foundation for today’s biggest motorcycle offroad event without overboarding red tape restrictions, without tedious discussions about rules and regulations. They created a race that brought and still brings its competitors to the very edge of their physical limitations. What they had in mind was a big offroad spectacle, a grand come together of the enduro scene. And they did not mind wheter man and machine were near the pain threshold or not.
