The FIM Hard Enduro World Championship is proud to support the continued growth of grassroots Hard Enduro racing through the expanded GO RACE FUND initiative, created by Silver Kings Hard Enduro in collaboration with GUTS Factory Grip Seats.
Originally launched in 2025 as a scholarship support programme for young riders, the initiative returns in 2026 with increased funding and a renewed commitment to supporting the next generation of Hard Enduro athletes.
The programme was first introduced as an essay-based application process, helping provide complimentary race entries, industry products, and support for selected riders who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to compete. Following the success of the inaugural programme, Silver Kings Hard Enduro and GUTS Racing have significantly expanded the initiative for 2026.
This year, the GO RACE FUND will provide more than $8,000 USD in combined race entries and rider expense support for eligible applicants competing at Silver Kings Hard Enduro, Round 3 of the 2026 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship.
The initiative is aimed at riders aged 24 years and under, helping reduce financial barriers associated with travel, accommodation, fuel, and race participation.
Selected riders may receive:
- Complimentary Silver Kings Hard Enduro race entry
- Financial assistance toward fuel, lodging, or race-related expenses
- Industry support products and merchandise
- Additional exposure through official championship and partner media channels
The application process goes beyond race results alone, focusing on rider dedication, personal growth, passion for the sport, and future ambitions within Hard Enduro.
Applications are now officially open via:

Silver Kings Hard Enduro has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting additions to the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship calendar, and initiatives such as the GO RACE FUND reflect the broader importance of grassroots accessibility and long-term rider development within the sport.
By helping younger riders access international-level competition, the initiative also aligns closely with the championship’s wider focus on opportunity, inclusion, and the development of future Hard Enduro talent.
As the 2026 championship continues to grow globally, programmes like the GO RACE FUND demonstrate how organisers, industry partners, and the wider Hard Enduro community can work together to build sustainable pathways into the sport.
Race Hard. Dream Big. Build Futures.
