In 2026, for the sixth time, Italy will have the honour of hosting the MTB Marathon World Championships. After South Tyrol (Villabassa 2008, Selva Val Gardena 2015), Veneto (Montebelluna 2011, Auronzo di Cadore 2018) and Tuscany (Capoliveri 2021), in four years' time it will be Trentino's turn.
The MTB Marathon World Championship in 2026 will take place in Primiero-San Martino di Castrozza, organised by Pedali di Marca. The announcement came during the 191st UCI Congress in Wollongong, Australia.
