FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship continues with pre-season 'KLIM Junior Camp' for 2024 – Paul Bolton at the helm for online training and on-bike expert guidance at round one, Valleys Hard Enduro in Great Britain.

Aimed at preparing Junior class competitors for the world championship, the KLIM Junior Camp has Paul Bolton as the expert tutor and guide to the next generation of Hard Enduro racers as they take their first steps into the Junior World Championship.

Established in 2023 by FIM Hard Enduro World Championship promoters WESS GmbH, the KLIM Junior Camp is intended to develop and grow young riders and with his huge experience as a rider but also his insight into the sport, Bolton is an invaluable and obvious coach.

Commencing on April 11, four weeks prior to the opening round of the championship, the KLIM Junior Camp begins with a series of on-line video briefings. There will be a video briefing on April 11 and April 24 to cover topics on how to prepare for Hard Enduro races and how to work successfully with sponsors and media.

On May 9, prior to round one of the championship at Valleys Hard Enduro in the United Kingdom, there will be an on-site training day with mentor Paul Bolton. The morning session will recap both video briefings, along with additional tuition from Paul. The afternoon will consist of a practical training session with Paul on his motorcycle.

Paul Bolton - KLIM Junior Camp mentor: “It’s awesome to get involved with the KLIM Junior Camp again. Hard Enduro is a tough sport, so for riders joining the championship it’s a great opportunity for them to soak up as much information as possible. It’s nice to pass on what I’ve learned over the years and see them succeed with it.”
