It is an official motorcycle race co-organized by the MST and ORT clubs, sanctioned by AMOTOE with the aid of local authorities, organizations and sponsors throughout Greece. “Riv3r Enduro Crossing” constitutes a unique sports event in the field of motor-driven motorcycle, bringing together for three days in the town of Veria top riders not only from Greece but also from abroad, who will race against each other along the banks of Tripotamos river. Participating riders from Greece must hold a valid sports license and be members of a sports club, in turn member of AMOTOE. Riders coming from abroad in order to participate in the race must first make arrangements with the Sports Federation (FIM) of their country which will act upon their registration. Participants select one of the five categories (expert, trial, XLclass, veterans, hobby) to compete. There is also the general category that determines the first three winners and in which riders of the “expert” and “trial” categories take part. The 3-day schedule is as follows:

More over, the organizing committee of “Riv3r Enduro Crossing” has created a free for smartphones and tablets application, through which one can look up information about the race, the routes, the stages and the paddocks. One can also navigate through google maps to points of interest such as where to find accommodation, where to eat or drink coffee in Veria, watch live the race results as well as have immediate access to weather forecast. The race organizing committee is aided by approximately 100 volunteers, a fully-prepared rescue team, a medical care unit and ambulances. We really hope you shall stand by our side in this effort to create – promote a race which has become an institution and which will attract even more riders and spectators not only from Greece but from abroad, as well. Hopefully this race will become a big draw of the town of Veria and ultimately, of our country.
