The Union Cycliste Internationale and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports have announced that the third edition of the UCI Mountain Bike Enduro and E-Enduro World Championships will be held in the Finale Outdoor Region from October 16 to 18, 2026. The region on the Ligurian coast has been considered the international center of enduro sports for years.

World championship titles and rainbow jerseys will be awarded in six categories: Elite Men and Women in Enduro, Junior Men and Women, and E-Enduro for Men and Women. The world's best athletes in these disciplines are expected to compete.

Finale Ligure and its surroundings have more than two decades of experience in outdoor and enduro sports. Since the premiere of the Finalenduro race in 2008, the region has established itself as a fixture on the international racing calendar. It has repeatedly hosted stages of the Enduro World Series, including the Trophy of Nations, as well as races of the UCI Enduro World Cup. Events were held alternately with the neighboring town of Pietra Ligure.

The route between the mountains and the sea offers over 200 trails, providing ideal conditions for challenging enduro competitions. Large differences in altitude, varied terrain, and spectacular views of the Ligurian Sea create a unique riding experience. This combination has earned the region a reputation as the home of enduro, a place where the discipline developed and preserved its special culture.Representatives from Warner Bros. Discovery and the UCI emphasize the importance of returning to Italy and see Finale as a symbolic venue for the further development of the sport. Intense competition at the highest level and an international audience are expected.
