The Montane Adventure Race will test elite teams on a technical course open for 48 hours, as they pass through 3 UNESCO World Heritage sites and battle for a qualifying spot in the 2027 Adventure Racing World Championship.

Sjælland, Denmark — The Adventure Racing World Series (ARWS) is preparing for the 2026 European Championship, which will be contested across the rugged and historic terrain of Sjælland, Denmark from August 27-30th. As the pinnacle of the ARWS European circuit, the Montane Adventure Race will serve as a punishing and prestigious arena where the continent's elite teams must navigate a complex landscape of wild forests, coastline and open water, at the same time passing through centuries of history.

While the physical toll of the race will be immense, the event is uniquely defined as a passage through Danish heritage that transforms a standard competition into an odyssey of discovery.

Adventure Race Croatia (ARC) will host the Adventure Racing World Championship 2027, scheduled to take place in September.

Race Director Igor Dorotić of Remarkable Events said, "Hosting the Adventure Racing World Championship has been my dream from the first Adventure Race Croatia.”

“In 2027, our goal is to deliver the kind of race I would want to compete in myself. It will be navigationally fun, with beautiful, rideable bike sections, amazing trekking stages, and kayaking that will satisfy even the most demanding racers.

“Croatia may be a small country, but the variety of nature, culture, and terrain we can bring into a single course is extraordinary. We want teams to experience all of it and to remember this championship for a long time."
