Lossiemouth opens the 2026 Scottish Enduro Championship
Rounds 1 and 2 of the 2026 Scottish Enduro Championship took place at Lossiemouth, with two days of racing across some of the most distinctive terrain on the Scottish calendar.
Known for deep sand, fast sections and punishing conditions, Lossiemouth has built a reputation for being a difficult place to start the season.
This film follows the riders across both days, combining trackside footage, onboard action and interviews from around the event.
Why is Lossiemouth such a tough Enduro?
Sand changes the way a motorcycle behaves.
Riders need to carry momentum, stay relaxed on the bike and constantly react to ruts and lines that can move and deteriorate throughout the day.
As more riders pass through a section, the terrain can become rougher and less predictable, turning what looked straightforward on the first lap into something much more demanding later in the event.
That is part of what has helped Lossiemouth earn the nickname “Lossie Foot.”
Two days of Scottish Enduro racing
Across the weekend, riders had to manage much more than outright speed.
The format meant dealing with test sections, checkpoints, liaison riding, pits and the physical strain of returning for a second day after an already demanding Saturday.
For championship riders, consistency across both rounds matters just as much as one fast test.

Fast riding, crashes and recoveries
Lossiemouth has a habit of catching riders out.
The combination of speed and soft, changing ground means mistakes can happen quickly.
The film captures some of those moments, from crashes in the sand to riders picking themselves up and getting back into the event.
That ability to recover and keep going is a big part of Enduro racing.
Onboard at Lossiemouth
Onboard footage courtesy of Lewis Kennedy gives a closer look at what the course feels like from the rider’s point of view.
From behind the handlebars, the speed, movement of the bike and constant changes in terrain become much clearer than they appear from trackside.
It also shows how quickly riders need to react to ruts, bumps, other competitors and changing lines while still trying to maintain race pace.
Rider interviews from around the event
The film also follows the people behind the racing.
Rider interviews from throughout the weekend give an idea of how competitors are finding the conditions, how the event develops and what it takes to keep going across two difficult days.
That mix of race footage and rider reaction helps show what a Scottish Enduro weekend is actually like beyond the results sheet.
From the tests to the pits
Enduro racing is not just about the timed sections.
Riders move between tests, checkpoints and service areas while teams, families and supporters work in the pits to keep motorcycles and riders going.
Those quieter parts of the event are an important part of the overall picture and show the amount of effort required to complete a championship weekend.
Why Lossiemouth stands out
Every Scottish Enduro venue has its own character, but Lossiemouth is immediately recognisable.
The sand, speed and physical challenge give the event a feel that is very different from forest or hard-ground rounds elsewhere in the championship.
It makes for difficult racing, but it is also what keeps riders coming back.
