Consult the calendar! The days and destination of the 2026 KTM EUROPE ADVENTURE RALLY have dropped. One of the most unmissable adventure experiences for KTM owners will run through 7-11 September 2026 and will roam the magical landscape of Umbria in central Italy. 250 lucky riders and participants will be exploring the history and breathtaking topography north of Perugia next summer and year-on-year, regardless of the location, the fixture is fully booked in ultra-quick time.
The (typically) racey KTM EUROPE ADVENTURE RALLY label is a slight misnomer because the event is all about saddle time, unbeatable routes, discovery and escapism with other like-minded motorcyclists. The gathering brings together an eclectic group of riders, ages, abilities and genders for three days sampling the air and the terrain and the culture of diverse territories.
The KTM EUROPE ADVENTURE RALLY has ventured to Portugal and Romania in recent editions and will now be infused with Italy’s passion for food, for culture, for epic landscapes and, of course, for motorcycling. KTM ADVENTURE owners who register from 20 January 2026 can be assured of a place for the three-day track that will be based in the medieval hillside town of Gubbio. The three daily loops will circle the spectacular Lake Trasimero (the fourth largest lake in the country), delve into the spidery network of gravel roads and shallow slopes and trails of Umbria and tackle the low mountain peaks of Monte Foce and Nerone. Each day the group will return to the KTM ‘basecamp’ in Gubbio for the best in local cuisine and evening entertainment in the heart of a warm Italian summer.
The KTM EUROPE ADVENTURE RALLY caters to a wide range of skills and capabilities with the KTM events team carefully observing details at every turn. The priority is to make memories. Groups will find their way via GPS coordinates (there is also possibilities for a guide) but for 2026 the implementation of ‘Blue’, ‘Red’ and ‘Black’ routes will allow Experts to really test their adventuring and enduro mettle while beginners can feel comfortable with their own trajectory. Definition of these avenues can be sourced through the event website page, and the link can be found below.
