Summarised from County Times's report · Updated 23 Oct, 21:50 · Archive

Wales will host the 2027 FIM International Six Days' Enduro in Builth Wells, with around 500 riders from over 30 countries competing.

Wales will host the 2027 FIM International Six Days' Enduro in Builth Wells from 13-18 September, based at Royal Welsh Showground. Around 500 competitors from more than 30 countries are expected to compete, alongside team crews, media and spectators from around the world.

The six-day competition, often described as the 'Olympics of Motorcycling', tests speed, endurance and mechanical skill. Competitors will tackle hundreds of miles of varied terrain, combining technical special tests with long-distance riding and strict time controls. Riders must also maintain and repair their own motorcycles within controlled time limits. The event will mark a return to Wales more than four decades after the country last hosted the competition in 1983.

Organisers plan an event village, spectator opportunities, family activities, local food and drink, and entertainment. The competition is expected to showcase the area to visitors from across Europe whilst supporting accommodation, hospitality and tourism in the region. The Auto-Cycle Union will support the event alongside local motorcycle clubs, volunteers, partners and stakeholders.
