Hart Wraps Up Hard Enduro
Championship at Hollow Point
F
or its second running, the
Hollow Point Hard Enduro re-
turned to Coal Hollow Raceway
in Wellsville, Ohio, August 8-9,
with a very different feel. The
2025 inaugural edition had been
hot, dry and dusty, producing a
fast-paced battle for the win, but
12 months later, rain early Sat-
urday morning turned the Ohio
clay slick and treacherous, and
although Sunday stayed dry, the
course never fully recovered.
The 2026 event served as the
penultimate round of the AMA
National Hard Enduro Champi-
onship, presented by IRC Tire,
and round four of the AMA East
Hard Enduro Series, presented
by Klim. Familiar Wellsville
landmarks returned, including
Big Waterfall, 12 Gauge Hill, 20
Gauge Hill and Full Metal Jacket,
but the conditions made them
feel entirely different.
After the amateurs raced
Saturday morning, the after
-
noon shifted attention to the
Pro "Dash for Cash" Prologue, a
30-minute race combining the
endurocross track and woods to
establish Sunday's starting or
-
der. Red Bull FMF KTM's Trystan
Hart won ahead of Ryder LeB-
lond, Rocky Mountain Yamaha's
Cody Webb and IRC Beta's Bran-
den Petrie.
By Sunday morning, Hart
already knew what waited in the
WIND
IN THE
P36
Trystan Hart won the
Hollow Point Hard
Enduro in Ohio and
clinched the 2026
AMA Hard Enduro
Championship.
