The must-attend mountain bike enduro event
The races of the 2026 UCI Enduro World Cup – final round
The 2026 UCI Enduro World Cup in Morillon will be the must-see mountain bike enduro event of the end of the season, combining technical skill, spectacle and suspense. Nestled in the heart of Morillon Enduro Bike Park, the course comprises several special stages: timed sections where wet roots, vertiginous rocks and tight corners put the riders’ skill and composure to the test.
Between each special stage, the untimed liaison sections wind their way towards the villages of La Rivière-Enverse and Samoëns. Although they are not timed, these liaison sections are crucial: they offer a much-needed opportunity to recover, a chance to strategise ahead of the next descent, and breathtaking alpine views that fuel the riders’ passion and concentration.
600 participants in the Enduro mountain biking event
This year, 250 professional riders (UCI Enduro World Cup) and 350 amateur riders (Enduro Open) will compete on these exceptional courses, watched by a huge crowd of spectators from all over the world.
Every finish line is a major milestone: the cheers from the crowd and the riders’ focus keep the suspense going right up to the final descent.
Once again this year, Morillon has the honour of hosting the decisive round of the World Cup series, the one that will crown the winner of the 2026 UCI Enduro World Cup: a final showdown where every jump, every corner and every hundredth of a second can tip the balance and seal the fate of the top riders.
