One month to go until the UCI Enduro & E-Enduro World Championships:

From 16 to 18 October 2026, the Finale Outdoor Region will take centre stage as the host destination for the UCI Enduro & E-Enduro World Championships. With just 30 days to go, anticipation is building for a weekend that, beyond the racing, will bring sport, music, entertainment, culture and activities for the whole community to the area.

There is now just one month to go until the most important event in Finale’s enduro history. From 16 to 18 October, the world’s best riders will arrive in the Finale Outdoor Region to battle for the rainbow jerseys at the 2026 UCI Enduro & E-Enduro World Championships.

But the World Championships won’t be just about racing. For three days, Finale and its surrounding area will be at the heart of a major event open to everyone, with a programme of activities designed to let everyone experience the atmosphere of the World Championships beyond the trails.

Thursday 15: Harald Philipp at Cinema Moretti

The weekend will kick off on Thursday 15 October at Cinema Moretti in Pietra Ligure, with an evening dedicated to athletes, staff and volunteers, but also open to the public while seats are available.

The evening’s special guest will be Harald Philipp, one of the best-known and most recognisable names on the international mountain bike scene. He will take the audience on a journey through images, adventure and his passion for bikes and mountains.

An evening designed to get everyone into the World Championships spirit before the racing even begins.

Friday 16: the spectacular Team Parade

Friday will be the moment to bring the World Championships into the heart of Finale.

The Team Parade will see the teams and athletes representing the different nations at the World Championships parade through the town centre. A spectacular moment and, above all, an opportunity for the public to see the weekend’s protagonists up close and experience the official start of the competition together with them.

A true Parade of Nations, with flags from around the world bringing Finale to life.

Saturday 17: “Taste the World”

Saturday will be a celebration of another element that brings people and cultures together: food.

With Taste the World, the centre of Finale will become a gastronomic journey through the countries represented at the World Championships. Participating venues will offer specialities, dishes and interpretations inspired by the different cultures taking part in the event.

A city-wide celebration designed to bring together restaurants, bars, local businesses and visitors in a truly international atmosphere.

For one day, the world of enduro will come together around the table too.

Sunday: the big final celebration

On Sunday, the World Championships will come to an end with a big celebration in the heart of Finale.

After the final day of racing and the awards ceremony, it will be time to celebrate the end of a historic weekend together, with live music and a DJ set.

An opportunity for riders, spectators, volunteers, local businesses and residents to come together and celebrate the conclusion of three days that will become part of enduro history.

The World Championships Village: the heart of the weekend

Throughout the event, the World Championships Village will be open, providing a meeting point for spectators and mountain bike fans.

Visitors will be able to meet numerous companies from the bike industry, discover new products and innovations, take part in activities and initiatives dedicated to mountain biking, and experience the World Championships atmosphere up close.

One of the new features of this edition will also be a large area dedicated to the Finale Outdoor Region and its territory, with the participation of the municipalities from across the destination.

An opportunity to showcase not only the history of enduro in Finale, but also the people, places, businesses and communities that make up today’s outdoor destination — a destination that extends far beyond the boundaries of a single town.

Space for children and families with Helpcode

The World Championships will also be an opportunity to do something good.

Thanks to the collaboration with charity partner Helpcode, activities for children and young people will be organised throughout the weekend, including games, workshops and entertainment designed to introduce younger generations to the values of sport and solidarity.

Visitors will also have the chance to take part in a solidarity lottery, with some fantastic prizes up for grabs. All proceeds will go towards the “In bici per superare confini, pedaliamo verso il futuro!” project, supporting Helpcode’s activities.

Want to watch the racing?

For those who want to experience the World Championships directly from the trails, 9 October is the date to mark on the calendar.

The official race courses will be published on that day, together with spectator information, including access points, spectator areas and dedicated zones where fans will be able to follow the action, with music, food & beverage and entertainment.

This will make it possible to plan your day in advance, choose the best spots to watch the riders go by and experience all the action of the World Championships up close.

A World Championships to experience, not just watch

The countdown has begun.

In one month, the Finale Outdoor Region will welcome riders and fans from all over the world for an event that represents the culmination of a story that began many years ago and has been built together with an international community.

Three days of racing. But also three days of celebration, encounters, music, sport, territory and shared experiences.
