Historic Moment In Canadian Motorcycle Competition

World Enduro Canada is an off road motorcycle race promoter that is pleased to announce their association as a sanctioning body and promotion partner under the umbrella of the Motorcycle Confederation of Canada responsible for Enduro and Cross Country competition.

Principals Stephen Abel, Lawrence Hacking and Sean Wiesner are widely experienced organizers and promoters coming off the success of two back to back FIM World Championship Enduro events held in Parry Sound, Ontario in 2006 and 2007. These two world-class events were highly successful in showcasing the pinnacle of the sport to the North American off road racing community as well as Canada’s ability to welcome the international elite to our country.

It is the mandate of World Enduro Canada to bring professional off road racing to a national level consistent with what was realized at the World Championships.

According to Stephen Abel, WEC founding partner and Clerk of the Course for both World Championship events, "With the industry, business's, clubs and riders all moving in the same forward direction, Off-road racing in Canada will reach a new level of professionalism and participation."

"We look forward to working with the MCC and its promotion partners in other disciplines to share knowledge and infrastructure that will aid in delivering professional and exciting off road motorcycle events" says Sean Wiesner.

Lawrence Hacking adds "Canadian off road racers deserve recognition and being rewarded for their talents. Our FIM sanctioned WEC events have demonstrated the concept to everyone involved in the sport: our riders now know that they can indeed compete at the highest level on an international stage. We want to carry this momentum to both a National Enduro and Cross Country Series."

World Enduro Canada events will stress respect of the environment, sponsorship exposure and safety and fairness to competitors. The bright future of off-road competition in Canada is now more assured with the formation of the MCC’s umbrella group uniting each facet of the sport of motorcycling.
