NATURLAND ANDORRA: THE THIRD CHAPTER OF THE 2026 HERO UCI CROSS-COUNTRY MARATHON WORLD CUP IS READY TO BEGIN

Dear HEROes,

the third round of the 2026 HERO UCI Cross-country Marathon World Cup is just around the corner and ready to deliver another unmissable weekend of world-class mountain biking, this time on the trails of the Pyrenees.

At Naturland Andorra, athletes and teams - along with many passionate amateurs — will come together for two days of sport, sharing and pure adrenaline.

Sunday, 31 May will be the most anticipated day: race day!

The official start is scheduled for 8:30 am, with the world’s best marathon specialists ready to battle it out on one of the most technical courses of the entire circuit: 68 km with 2,145 metres of elevation gain. The first riders are expected to cross the finish line around 11:30 am, while at 12:30 pm we will celebrate the protagonists with the official HWC Awards Ceremony dedicated to the Elite and Master athletes.

The Naturland Andorra stage is far from being “just another race”: its demanding and technical course, combined with its strategic position within the international XCM calendar, makes it one of the key moments of the entire UCI World Cup season. It marks the end of the first half of the season and opens the countdown towards the next legendary challenge: the HERO Südtirol Dolomites on 13 June.

Get ready, HEROes.
The battle continues… and the show is only halfway through!
