The Hard Enduro World Ranking is an independent platform that allows all hard enduro races worldwide to rank their riders on a global ranking list.
Ranking of events begins on February 1, 2026.
The Hard Enduro World Ranking was initiated by the two organizers of Red Bull Erzbergrodeo and Red Bull Romaniacs.
The Hard Enduro World Ranking is independent of any governing body.
The sporting value of the Hard Enduro World Ranking stems from the collaboration of the sport's three main pillars: rider representation, race organizer representation, industry representation.
The Hard Enduro World Ranking evaluates the athletes' best results over a one-year period. Points expire automatically after one year. For the points awarded for each race event, the rankings for the top athletes as of December 31 of the previous year are used, with the exception of the 2026 race year, where a „Pre Season World Ranking“ calculated from several representative events will be used as the basis.
The official communication platform for Hard Enduro World Ranking is: www.enduroworldranking.com
Event organizers may submit information to ensure accurate ranking data.
Events may also be included in the ranking based on publicly available results.
Event names are used for informational purposes only.
All events remain independent and are not affiliated with or organized by the Hard Enduro World Ranking.
The ranking evaluates publicly known international hard enduro events based on available race results.
The event must be declared as a Hard Enduro event, meaning its course layout clearly distinguishes it from Motocross and classic Enduro through a correspondingly more technically demanding course.
<p>Each organizer is obligated to truthfully complete the digital registration form at www.enduroworldranking.com/registration and upload the required documentation. False information may result in the cancellation of an event's points and exclusion of the event/organizer from future rankings.</p>
The four ranking categories:
- Supreme: max. points for winner 2000
- Premier: max. points for winner 1200
- Masters: max. points for winner 500
- Challenger: max. points for winner 250
Rating of the respective categories:
The ranking category for each race is determined based on the number of participating top athletes, as well as various quality parameters such as the number of participants, participating nations, prize money awarded, media coverage, and the number of race days.
The quality parameters achieved at the competition determine the rating for the category, not the values estimated beforehand during registration!
Weighting of the respective data:
- Top athletes 35%
- Number of participants 10%
- Participating nations 5%
- Media data 15%
- Prize money and prizes awarded 15%
- Number of race days 10%
Minimum number of quality points per class:
- Supreme event: 6.5 points
- Premier event: 4.5 points
- Masters event: 3.5 points
- Challenger event: 1.5 points
Organizers are welcome to submit official results to improve the accuracy of the ranking. A flawless and timely start and results list is expected. Please note: Misspelled names will result in incorrect world rankings. The race organizer determines how the respective ranking classes of an event (Pro Level, Amateur Level, Senior Classes, Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc.) are converted into an overall event ranking. The scoring system used must be specified during registration for the Hard Enduro World Ranking and cannot be changed afterward (Class order, scoring of only finishers or all results, no scoring of DNS). Only one overall result can be counted per event. The organizer is responsible for compiling the overall results from potentially multiple event days.
Participating organizers have the right to promote their participation in the International Hard Enduro World Ranking by using their logo.
