The world’s foremost practitioners in the art of off-road motorcycle racing will converge upon Florence’s Civic Center on Sept. 12th for the annual running of the GEICO Powersports AMA EnduroCross Series – an event that’s packed the Civic Center to the rafters in the past with its high-flying, rock-busting, mud-running, tree trunk-crossing action seen no where else in the world of indoor motorsports.

“Florence’s Civic Center is GEICO EnduroCross Series’ only stop on the East Coast for this unique touring motorsports event,” said Mike Karsting of Source Interlink Media. “The Civic Center, in cooperation with Source Interlink Media – the producers and promoters of GEICO EnduroCross – welcome the teams, riders and their loyal fan base to an event that should once again have the South Carolina motorsports and action sports communities buzzing with anticipation.”

Combining multiple off road motorcycle racing disciplines such as western U.S. desert enduro racing and eastern cross country racing with technical trials-style riding, GEICO EnduroCross showcases riders from all over the world that excel in these fields.
