WESS GmbH are pleased to announce a provisional eight-round calendar for the 2025 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship (HEWC). Featuring a strong line-up of longstanding Hard Enduro favourites, the schedule also sees the return of the popular Red Bull Outliers, Abestone and 24MX GetzenRodeo to the mix.
• Eight rounds provisionally confirmed for 2025 FIM HEWC
• Championship returns to Canada with Red Bull Outliers
• Strong mix of Hard Enduro formats assembled
With the final two rounds of the 2024 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship fast approaching, WESS GmbH are excited to confirm that a provisional calendar is now in place for 2025. Assembling eight of the best Hard Enduro races, the 2025 FIM HEWC will consist of longstanding, tried and trusted races to deliver a truly exciting and action-packed season of racing.
The United Kingdom’s Valleys Hard Enduro will once again play host to the season opener on May 10-11. The Welsh venue proved a welcome addition to the calendar in 2024 and will be highly anticipated by all next year.
A stalwart of Hard Enduro, Austria’s iconic Red Bull Erzbergrodeo will mark round two in late May. Set to celebrate its 29th edition in 2025, it’s one not to be missed for true Hard Enduro fans.
From Austria, it’s off to Serbia for the very popular Xross Hard Enduro Rally. The four-day rally brings competitors deep into the Serbian mountains on a wild ride of remote wilderness and rugged mountainous terrain.
Keeping the multi-day, GPS navigation rally format momentum high, Romania’s Red Bull Romaniacs completes the first half of the season with round four. Always a tough and demanding event, next July will be the 22nd running of this world-class race.
Taking in North America, the championship travels to Canada’s Red Bull Outliers for round five. Located in the Badlands, the terrain is vast and desert-like, and a stark contrast to the previous outings in Serbia and Romania. As a short, multi-lap cross-country race, it’s one to favour the sprinters.
Returning to Europe for round six, Italy’s Abestone is a welcome addition to the calendar. Last held on the FIM HEWC schedule in 2022, the race takes place in the picturesque Tuscany mountains. With spectacular scenery and equally spectacular riding, it’s a firm rider favourite.
October is set to ring out the 2025 season in style with rounds seven and eight. Turkey’s Sea to Sky will see those with title aspirations begin to come to the fore. Here, riders start with their wheels on the shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea before racing head-to-head to the finish line on the summit of the nearby Olympos Mountain, some 2,365m above sea level.
Bringing the 2025 FIM HEWC to an exciting close will be Germany’s 24MX GetzenRodeo for round eight. The venue creates an amazing atmosphere as competitors battle the steep, root-infested climbs of the tight and technical forest in Drebach, while the course is lined with thousands of passionate spectators.
For 2025, the FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship supported by KLIM will take in five rounds – Valleys Hard Enduro, Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, Xross Hard Enduro Rally, Red Bull Romaniacs and Abestone.
Winfried Kerschhaggl – FIM Hard Enduro World Championship Manager: “We are proud of the schedule we have assembled for the 2025 FIM HEWC season. It is a very established group of races that will please Hard Enduro competitors and fans from all over. With the mixture of formats present, there is a race to play to everyone’s strengths. Expanding to eight rounds is something we’re also very pleased with. We’re now looking forward to closing out 2024 strong in Turkey and Spain, before working hard towards 2025.”
