Vurbmoto Shred Tour Lincoln Trail
THE 500 EAST
OCT 16-17
Custom Track
THE 500 EAST, part moto, part off road, all fun!
You don’t need another normal race on your calendar.
You need one that you’ll never forget.
The 500 East presented by Michelin returns to Lincoln Trail in Casey, IL, October 16-17, 2026.
Part off-road, part moto, all fun! An 8-hr and 20 minute (500 total minutes) Fundurance team (or solo for you crazies) event that combines two tamed down moto tracks, a 5+ mile off-road loop, and a hard enduro section (don’t worry, we have a Scaredy Cat Lane), averaging 17 min lap times. This race isn’t about lap times or gate picks. It’s about hanging out with great friends, riding your dirt bike and enjoying some laughs.
​
Grab your buddies and make a decision you can regret together.

THE COURSE Part moto, part off-road! The loop will be a unique course with an average lap time of 17 minutes. The loop will include terrain for the average rider along with a tamed down motocross track with no mandatory jumps. Again, this is a vibe race and will be built for all rider disciplines. (Note: If you ain’t jumping, get out of our way, because Team Vurb is coming for gold.) Below is the track map for 2025 and we expect the course will remain pretty much the same for 2026.

PIT LOCATIONS Pits are sold individually and will represent your starting position (New for 2026). For example, all 100 pit locations will start first, followed by the 200 locations, and so on. Want to get a jump on the competition, better be near the front.
-
PITTING Riders are not required to pit. If you want to torture yourself with multiple laps, you can skip pit lane
-
PIT ROUTING When pitting, you will ONLY go down your respective pit lane (see map below). Also of note, all pit lanes will be a mandatory 10mph speed limit. Riders breaking the speed limit will be subject to disqualification. Below is the pit map for 2026. When signing up, you will be required to pick the pit location you want to be at during the race. You cannot change this once on-site. If you want to pit close with your friends or family, we suggest signing up at the same time and picking locations close to one another.​
