The 2026 Valleys Hard Enduro is set for Walters Arena in Wales this May 9-10 and will see riders fight it out in Saturday evening shootout and Sunday main event for a 6K prize purse.

The organisers of the Valleys Hard Enduro – formerly a round of the Hard Enduro World Championship but now a standalone race once again – have laid down quite the incentive to riders with a prize pot totalling £6000.

Sister event to the popular early season Valleys Xtreme, the early summer edition was won in 2025 by Mani Lettenbichler alongside Billy Bolt and Teo Kabakchiev. But with no HEWC attachment in 2026, the prize money is up for grabs.

Sunday’s main elite race has a healthy £2500 for the win, £1500 for second and £1000 for third. Add to that the prizes for the Saturday shoutout races in the Walters Arena which has a top award of £500 for the intense Arenacross-style race.
