The Enduro del Verano (Summer Enduro) is an annual series of motorcycle and quad races held in February on the dunes of Villa Gesell, Argentina. It is the most important race of its type in Latin America and is one of the largest worldwide. The event was first run in 1992 and in 2023 and 2024 was a round of the FIM Sand Races World Cup. It is run by EDV Entertainment and sanctioned by the Argentine Confederation of Motorcycling Sports (Camod) and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).
Brainchild of Charlie 'Boy' Allue and Victor Gilabert, the first race took place in Pinamar in 1992 in which over 250 motorcycles took part and more than 1,500 spectators attended. From 1998 the races started to attract international participants. The event was subsequently held at various locations until 2006 when it was held at Villa Gesell and continues to be held there.
The competition was not held in 2002 and came close to being cancelled in 2007 when provincial security agencies refused authorisation for it. It went ahead under the personal responsibility of the mayor Luis Baldo. Various supercross categories were added that year creating the Supercross del Verano (Summer Supercross) within the overall event.
A world record for the largest quad race was set in 2013 and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records. The following year it became an 'Eco Enduro' with strong measures in place to protect the venue.
In 2017 the Moto Beach Classic was added to the schedule for motorcycles manufactured between 1970 and 1982.
American Chad Wiennen became the first non-Argentinian to win the quad race in 2019.
The event was cancelled in 2021 and 2022 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It became a round of the inaugural FIM World Sand Races Cup in 2023 and was also on the World Cup calendar in 2024.
1,173 registered participants, including 624 on motorcycles, competed in 2025, the highest number to date.
The circuit is situated amongst the dunes of Villa Gesell, some of which are high, and includes a section along the shore from the water.
A sprint race takes place on the Saturday and the main race on the Sunday. There are many categories and classes catering for motorcycles and quads including supercross and enduro type events.
Entry for spectators is free but there is a requirement to donate a non-perishable food item or a school supply for children's homes and social service organisations.
