FIM Hard Enduro World Championship Confirms Pre-Season KLIM Junior Camp With Paul Bolton

The FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship supported by KLIM is pleased to announce the continuation of the pre-season KLIM Junior Camp for 2024. Aimed at preparing Junior class competitors for the world championship, the KLIM Junior Camp will again have Paul Bolton on hand for expert tuition and guidance.

Established in 2023 by FIM Hard Enduro World Championship promoters WESS GmbH, the KLIM Junior Camp is intended to develop and grow the next generation of Hard Enduro racers as they take their first steps into the FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship supported by KLIM.

Commencing on April 11, four weeks prior to the opening round of the championship, the KLIM Junior Camp begins with a series of online video briefings. There will be a video briefing on April 11 and April 25 to cover topics on how to prepare for Hard Enduro races and how to work successfully with sponsors and media.

On May 9, prior to round one of the championship at Valleys Hard Enduro in the United Kingdom, there will be an on-site training day with mentor Paul Bolton. The morning session will recap both video briefings, along with additional tuition from Paul. The afternoon will consist of a practical training session with Paul on his motorcycle.

For those wishing to attend this year’s KLIM Junior Camp, please register here. Registration closes on April 1.

The FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship supported by KLIM takes place across five rounds for 2024. The Valleys Hard Enduro, Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, Xross Hard Enduro Rally, Red Bull Romaniacs*, and 24MX Hixpania Hard Enduro are set to host exciting Junior Class battles in 2024.

*Confirmation of Red Bull Romaniacs as an FIM HEJWC event will be confirmed shortly.

Winfried Kerschhaggl - FIM Hard Enduro World Championship Manager: “We’ve always believed that Junior riders are the future stars of our sport. From gaining full FIM world championship status for the FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship supported by KLIM to introducing the KLIM Junior Camp, we are always striving to give our riders the best opportunity to grow in Hard Enduro. We’ve already seen some incredible success stories from riders like Mitch Brightmore and Matt Green. With the KLIM Junior Camp returning for 2024 we can help prepare more riders to follow in their footsteps.”

Paul Bolton - KLIM Junior Camp mentor: “It’s awesome to get involved with the KLIM Junior Camp again. Hard Enduro is a tough sport, so for riders joining the championship it’s a great opportunity for them to soak up as much information as possible. It’s nice to pass on what I’ve learned over the years and see them succeed with it.”
