Known as the Outdoors Capital of Wales, Rhayader achieved a motorsport pinnacle when the 2024 EnduroGP of Wales took place from August 2-4 at Cwmythig Hill and SaintsWell in Mid Wales. This event marked the return of the FIM EnduroGP World Championship to the UK for the first time in seven years. The competition featured three days of intense off-road racing, attracting top enduro riders from around the world. Feedback from some of the best riders and organizers was that Wales is the home of Enduro, and this was the best enduro event they had attended on the EnduroGP circuit.
