The 2025 USA Cycling Enduro National Championships took place over the weekend on June 21-22 in partnership with the North American Enduro Cup. Over two days and seven stages of racing, riders battled through cold, wet conditions. The timed sections featured nearly 11,000 feet of descending, adding up to about an hour of intense racing at Silver Mountain Resort.
In the Men’s Pro/Open class, tough conditions led to several crashes and mechanicals, but Colton Peterson (Buena Vista, Colo.; Specialized) held strong to take the win by 26 seconds in a field of 37 riders. He claimed victory on three of the seven stages and laid down consistently fast times on Saturday to stay in contention throughout the weekend. Nik Nestoroff (San Marcos, Calif.; Ari Factory Racing) secured second place, posting some of his best runs on stages one, two, and seven. Tucker Shearer (Canaan, Conn.; Transition Bikes) rounded out the podium, finishing just 34 seconds behind the winner.
In the Women’s Pro/Open class, Amy Morrison (Carson City, Nev.; Transition Bikes), Kailey Skelton (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.; Ari Factory Racing), and Porsha Murdock (Bend, Ore.; Specialized) battled closely, trading seconds all the way to the final stage. Morrison clinched the win by just 15 seconds, taking two stage victories and finishing second in the rest of the stages. Skelton won three stages but lost crucial time on stages four and five. Murdock stayed consistent throughout, keeping both Morrison and Skelton within striking distance. In the end, Morrison secured the overall over Skelton, with Murdock just three seconds behind Skelton, taking third.
In the Pro/Open E-Bike categories, Max Beaupre (Sutton, Mass.; Ari Factory Racing) put down the fastest laps on every stage, totaling 45-minutes of intense racing.
