An enduro is a timekeeping off-road race (with some on-road riding to "transfer" to other sections of land) that provides you with the opportunity to ride trails on private property that are not open to the public. In fact, many of these trails only get used once or twice a year by the clubs who have worked closely with the landowners and local authorities to provide you a riding opportunity unlike any closed course event (Hare Scrambles, GPs) that you may have ridden. The goal is to accumulate the least amount of points as possible throughout the race. See "Enduro 101" for a detailed description of how to ride an enduro.
