REES Jones has been crowned British Enduro Championship.

The talented youngster steered his ET James GasGas 125cc to glory to cap a year to remember.

Following in his father Edward Jones’ footsteps Rees, from Llanidloes, has taken on his first year of ACU British Enduro Championships in the Youth class and underlined his class with the championship win.

It has been a year to remember for Rees, at just 16 years of age and in the middle of his GCSEs, has managed to rack up the titles at both Welsh and British level, while also competing at his first Welsh 2 day Enduro and first World Enduro Championship.

A successful Welsh 2 Day Enduro, in Llandrindod Wells, back in June saw Rees won the E1 Clubman and Clubman Overall title, an award his father also won in his first year of racing.

Not wanting to miss the opportunity to ride his firsts World Enduro Championship on home soil, Rees took part in the Rhayader based Enduro GP of Wales, lining up against the world’s best and finishing a respectable 18th and 17th in the Youth U21 class.

Wrapping up the Welsh Open Sprint series, Llanidloes based Hafren Dirt Bike Club hosted the final round of a four round series where Rees took a clear win to Seal the U19 125cc Welsh Open Sprint Championship.

To round off the season the final four rounds of the ACU British Enduro Championship followed. 

Half way through the series, Rees was third heading to Natterjack, but a double win put him on top with two rounds to go.

The final round was at Catterick in Yorkshire and with two second place finishes it was enough to confirm the title.

Stepping up in 2025, Rees will not only be moving up into the Adult Expert Class but he is also hoping to head abroad to compete at World level.
