The MRA and LegionSBK Team Up for Endurance Thrills and Mid-Season Showdowns. 

High Plains Raceway, CO — The Motorcycle Roadracing Association (MRA) and LegionSBK are proud to announce an electrifying weekend of two-wheeled competition and community, set for July 26th–27th, 2025. The doubleheader event promises high-stakes racing, the launch of a brand-new endurance program, and a full schedule of festivities for racers and fans alike.

Saturday, July 26: LegionSBK Launches First Endurance Round with Le Mans Start

History will be made as LegionSBK debuts its first-ever endurance racing event, hosted on the High Plains Raceway Full Course. Kicking off with a dramatic Le Mans-style start, racers will sprint to their machines for a thrilling launch into the day’s challenges.

The event features two endurance races:

• 2-Hour Featherweight Endurance Race – A new category exclusively for lightweight motorcycles, perfect for riders looking for tight, strategic racing.

• 4-Hour Endurance Race – Open to all classes, with options for Solo, Relay, and True Endurance Team entries, designed to test skill, coordination, teamwork and racecraft.

“We’re excited to keep endurance racing going in Colorado with our first-ever LegionSBK Endurance event at High Plains Raceway on July 26th. Endurance racing is one of the most fun and inclusive forms of motorcycle competition, and we’ve made some key updates to the traditional 4-hour format—including the addition of a 2-hour race just for Featherweight bikes. With the MRA’s Round 3 sprint races happening the next day, it’s shaping up to be a full weekend of incredible racing. Our hope is to grow this into a multi-round series, and eventually expand it regionally. I am hoping this is just the beginning.” — Matt Cooper, Owner, Legion Moto

Sunday, July 27: MRA Round 3 Sparks Mid-Season Battles

The excitement rolls right into Sunday as the MRA hosts Round 3 of its 2025 championship season.

When the sun rises again on Sunday morning, there will be scores to settle from those who
failed in their bid for glory during the endurance races, having a second chance in the MRA’s Sunday sprint racing format. With a race day program consisting of 21 race classes, culminating with the Race of the Rockies, and the Amateur GTO Championship, there will be no shortage of chances for redemption on Sunday. The ROR championship is red hot this year, as Brad Hendry seeks to continue his defense of the #1 plate. There is no shortage of challengers to Hendry’s #1 plate this year, as several returning racers have immediately made it known that they are a serious threat to his hopes of a championship defense.

Matthew O’Cunha seeks to bridge the small points gap between himself and Hendry in the Race of the Rockies GTO championship, as he comes to grips with his new Alpha Racing BMW, while the also returning James Wilkerson will seek to use his extensive experience at High Plains raceway to remind his peers that he is also a top contender, as he trails O’Cunha in the standings by a mere 4 points. With three rounds left to run, this championship is far from decided. With the added pressure of out-of-town racers staying over from the endurance races, looking to prove a point, and upset expectations, the Race
of the Rockies championship race is set to have more fireworks planned than the 4th of July.

The Race of the Rockies GTU, and Amateur GTO championships are also shaping for fierce battles, as top contender Orkun Krand will look to reel in Salvatore Rizzo, to keep his hopes alive in the Race of the Rockies GTU Championship. In the Amateur GTO Championship the question will be, does anyone have what it takes to beat the streaking John Evans?
Evans has stamped his authority on the class in both rounds 1 and 2, and anyone looking to pose a serious challenge to him will need to ride with authority if they want to wrestle the championship from John who has made his intentions of dominance clear.

“The MRA is grateful that our partnership with Legion Motorsports allows the long-standing tradition of a multi-hour endurance event to continue in Colorado. We are excited to see the changes that LegionSBK brings to this event, and we are looking forward to witnessing: great battles on the track; team strategies in their bids for victory, and; the camaraderie that ensues in the paddock after the track goes cold!” — Bob Hasenhundl, MRA President

A Full Weekend Experience

The weekend isn’t just about racing—it’s a full-scale motorsports festival featuring:

• Local vendors offering gear, parts, food, and more

• A track walk on Friday evening for riders and spectators to explore the course

• BBQ & movie night under the stars

• On-site camping to keep the energy going all weekend long
