Martinez Wins the Inaugural Sprint Hero Enduro Racing Event at Glen Helen

DEVORE, Calif. – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Kacy Martinez tried her hand at the all-new Sprint Hero Enduro Racing series over the weekend with the inaugural event held at Glen Helen Raceway. Martinez scored high in the overall running as she finished 13^th overall amongst a talented field of pro riders.

The sprint format took place over the course of two days and incorporated both enduro tests and moto tests, giving riders the opportunity to show their diversification on the course. Martinez used the first day as a learning tool, where she continued to improve her times on the moto tests as the day went on. After day one of racing, Martinez held 14^th overall and the top position in the Women’s class.

On day two, Martinez set her sights on improving her position in the overall running. With the same format as day one, Martinez knew what to expect and was able to notch a top-ten overall finish in the third enduro test. From there, she maintained consistency and speed to eventually capture 13^th overall for the day and the Women’s class victory.

Martinez: “Coming into the weekend I was very excited for the new Sprint Hero series to start! It’s great to have a sprint series on the west coast now as well. The enduro test was really fun - it had tight technical trail, rocky downhill and a technical creek section. The moto test took some time for me to adjust, I struggled a bit in the first test but quickly learned the fast lines and moved up a bit from there. We ran the same format on Sunday and I really excelled in the enduro loop to break the top-ten in the third test, which was a great feeling!”
