ISDE Grândola

The 100th edition of the Six Days, officially the 6Days FIM Enduro of Nations, takes place in 2026 in the Litoral Alentejano, with headquarters and paddock in Grandola. The Portuguese federation gives the competition days as 12 to 17 October 2026. The event is organised by Enjoy & Fun with sporting coordination by Motor Sport Vila Nova de Santo Andre, supervised by the FIM and the FMP. The route covers roughly 1,400 kilometres over five days: days one and two loop between Grandola, Melides and Alcacer do Sal, days three and four run through Grandola, Sines and Santiago do Cacem, day five heads south towards Odemira, and day six closes with the final motocross special and its line start, expected in Sines. The organisers expect around 500 riders from more than 30 nations. It is Portugal's fourth time hosting, after Coimbra in 1999, Figueira da Foz in 2009 and Portimao in 2019. Our data has the terrain as sand with a fast but technical character. The organiser publishes no description of the ground itself, and the route changes from day to day anyway. What you can plan for is how soft ground behaves: in deep sand the rear starts to pogo and swim underneath you, and top of our cause list for that is rebound that is too fast at the back - slow it by a few clicks so the rear stops building up its own rhythm.
