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.
