Race Preview | European Enduro Series: Finale in Málaga
On October 17 and 18, the last round of the European Enduro Series will take place in Málaga in southern Spain. Here’s all the information, including some advice on how to get there and where to stay, straight from the organizer:
Soon, the European Enduro Series 2015 will come to an end. But before, there is one final location left. On October the 17th and 18th, the series returns to the sea, where the final race of the season will be held 12 km west of Málaga, Spain, in Benalmádea.
Benalmádena is well-known for its excellent trails, where international riders like Gee Atherton, Danny Hart or Josh Bryceland come to train. Companies like Santa Cruz, GT Bicycles or Giant come here to test their product, which promises a great season finale in EES.
Benalmádena is slightly further to travel than a lot of the other rounds, but we want to celebrate the end of the season with the participants. It is cheap and easy to get to by airplane, as the airport is only 12 km away. You can find all the information on our website. There will also be a shuttle service between the airport and the race. Also, we partnered up with the “Hotel Alay”, which offers a double room for 55 € incl. breakfast.>

The start of the race is next to the Tivoli World in Benalmádena, where you will access the hill via a gondola. In total, the race covers 29,5 km and four stages. These will be a combination of natural trails in the woods of the Calamorro Hill with sandy, rocky ground, so drama can be expected.
