Five mountain bike marathons, five extraordinary territories, one ultimate challenge. The HERO UCI Cross-country Marathon World Cup 2027 returns with a new season across Europe, bringing the world’s best specialists to some of the continent’s most spectacular, technical and demanding courses.

440 kilometres and 16,100 metres of elevation gain embody the essence of the UCI Marathon World Cup: endurance, technical skill, strategy and an endless battle against the mountain.

The season kicks off on 1 May in Riva del Garda (ITA) with the Bike Marathon Garda Trentino, before heading to Naturland Andorra (AND) on 30 May. On 12 June, the series arrives in Selva Val Gardena (ITA) for the HERO Südtirol Dolomites—the race that gives the circuit its name and one of the most iconic events of the season. On 25 July, the challenge moves to Germany for the Black Forest ULTRA Bike Marathon in Kirchzarten (GER), before the grand finale on 19 September with La Tramun Sea Otter Europe in Girona, Costa Brava (ESP).

From Lake Garda to the Pyrenees, from the Dolomites to the Black Forest and all the way to the Costa Brava: five rounds, one goal.

The road to glory starts here.
