The FIM Hard Enduro World Championship is getting bigger for 2027, with a nine-round calendar that opens at the new Tong Hard Enduro near Bradford, England, on April 17-18. Series promoter Hard Enduro Promotions (HEP) and the FIM have locked in nine events in eight countries, one more than this year’s eight, with the season wrapping up in late October at the Getzen Rodeo in Griessbach, Germany.
From Tong, the series heads to Extreme XL Lagares in Porto, Portugal, April 30-May 2, and Wild Woods Stone Extreme at Serre di Rapolano near Siena, Italy, May 14-16. Silver Kings Hard Enduro stays in the U.S. as the series’ key North American stop, running June 17-19 at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho, before Forza Orza in Orsa, Sweden, Aug. 19-21 and the Abestone Hard Enduro in Abetone, Italy, Sept. 3-5. The final stretch runs through Hixpania in Aguilar de Campoo, Spain, Sea to Sky in Kemer, Türkiye, and the Getzen Rodeo, though the promoter and the FIM list those three a day apart, with the promoter at Sept. 24-26, Oct. 7-9 and Oct. 23-24 and the FIM at Sept. 23-25, Oct. 8-10 and Oct. 22-23. Silver Kings and Sea to Sky are the only rounds outside Europe.
Three events are new for 2027: Tong, Wild Woods and the Getzen Rodeo, which comes back after sitting out 2026. Two 2026 rounds are gone, France’s 24MX Alestrem Hard Enduro, this year’s opener, and Lesotho’s Roof of Africa, which the promoter says is out “due to misalignment with the local federation.” Hixpania moves from season finale to round seven and is expected to be the last round for the World Cup classes. The promoter says travel to Türkiye is difficult for self-funded riders.
“Nine rounds keep the championship sustainable, and we have listened to the teams and riders, especially on the logistics and stress of travelling between continents,” said Championship Director Ross Whitehead. The 2027 regulations are still being finalized with the FIM, and the series says media accreditation and rules will come in January.
