Organisers say the event has become legendary among riders for its natural Alpine style trails that are marked out especially for the event.
There are four enduro events to choose from, catering for first time Ard Rock entrants to pro riders fresh from the Enduro World Series circuit.
There is also a marathon category which will take riders on an epic 40 mile tour of some of the best trails in the area.
There are camping facilities on site and local businesses in Reeth and the surrounding area are opening late and putting on special events to cater for the crowds.
