The Natal WFO Enduro Association was established in 1980 by a group of passionate Maritzburg riders who wanted to formalise the sport of endurance off-road riding. The association is managed on a non-profit basis, with any revenue generated by entries and sponsorship pumped straight back into the regional and national events.

Natal WFO membership is open to all riders at a cost of R350 per rider in 2018.
