First held in 2022, the festival is run by some of the best mountain bike guides and coaches around Anna Riddell, Fiona Finnie and Katie May, and has seen Limitlass quickly establish itself as a must-do event.

Lucinda Beresford, from Endura spoke of the brand's excitement, "We loved the Limitlass experience last year and are exceptionally pleased to be stepping up to support the event as presenting partners. Women only events are key to encouraging more women to enjoy cycling and we are heartened to see the cycling industry getting increasingly involved in helping to support events that create safe spaces for women to explore their love of mountain biking."

With Anna Riddell from Limitlass adding, "We are over the moon to partner with Endura, a company whose passion and commitment for mountain biking equals our own.
