the world , organisers are currently working on the 19th edition of this world famous Hard Enduro Rallye .
From Romania , the series will take a trip across the Atlantic to North America for a double header in the USA and Canada . Kicking things off for round six will be Red Bull TKO in Tennessee . The venue produced some spectacular racing and many memorable battles this year and will be eagerly anticipated next August .
Two weeks later , the championship heads north to Canada for the already established Red Bull Outliers in the Badlands of Alberta . The feature race is a multi-lap extreme cross-country event across a rugged wasteland with plenty of near-vertical climbs . HERO Challenge will play host to the penultimate round in mid-September . A welcomed addition to the 2021 series , its format twist of motocross , superenduro and hard enduro elements pushed competitors to their physical limits . Now , with 12 months to prepare for the next edition , expect organisers to raise the bar even higher .
Seven months after round one in Israel , the championship will draw to an exciting conclusion at Spain ’ s Hixpania Hard Enduro in Aguilar de Campoo . An event that does Hard Enduro exceptionally well , a spectacular end to the 2022 season is guaranteed .
