A great summer and autumn of MTBO in Sweden
This late summer and autumn will be great for MTBO in Sweden:
- O-Ringen Gothenburg (19–25 July 2026): 5 days of world-class MTBO in challenging Swedish terrain. This serves as excellent preparation, and international competitors will head there to train and compete.
- Swedish MTBO Championships in Uppsala (15–16 August 2026): Three races over two days, just over a week before the World Championships. Uppsala offers high-quality maps and challenging racing, attracting international competitors preparing for the World Championships.
- WMTBOC & JWMTBOC 2026 in Mora (24–30 August 2026): The main event of the year! We are pleased to see a large number of participants registered across the categories. In addition to the elite races, three days of open public races will be organised with unique courses that differ from the championship classes (no spoilers!).
We look forward to welcoming everyone to the Event Centre at First Camp Moraparken. With the competition arenas, event office, and official lodging located close together, we hope most teams and spectators will stay there to experience the warm, friendly feeling of the MTBO community.
Train hard and see you in Sweden!
