After a thrilling opening round in Loudenvielle-Peyragudes (France), the 2026 UCI Enduro World Cup heads to Saalfelden Leogang - Salzburgerland (Austria).
Set in Austria’s largest bike region, Saalfelden Leogang is one of just two venues on the 2026 calendar that will host all four WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series formats across one weekend, as the Epic Bikepark celebrates its 25th anniversary.
For the first time ever, Leogang will welcome Enduro Open entries, giving riders from around the world the chance to compete at this iconic venue, tackling the exact same course as the UCI Enduro World Cup’s elite.
Last season, the venue delivered one of the toughest challenges on the UCI Enduro World Cup circuit, with heavy rain setting the stage for two fiercely contested races, ultimately won by Jesse Melamed and Ella Conolly. Only time will tell what the conditions will look like this year, adding an extra layer of anticipation.
This year, riders will tackle a 73.37 km course featuring 5,289m of descending across six stages, with the route including one brand-new stage for riders to sink their teeth into.
