Experience the World Championships Atmosphere

The UCI Enduro World Championships will be much more than a race. From Thursday to Sunday, Finale Ligure will transform into a vibrant international celebration of outdoor culture, featuring events, music, talks and activities open to everyone.

Opening Evening with Harald Philipp

A special evening dedicated to athletes, staff and volunteers, but also open to the public, to officially kick off the UCI Enduro World Championships weekend.

Harald Philipp is one of the most respected and influential figures in international mountain biking. Originally from Austria, he is renowned not only for his smooth and elegant riding style but also for his authentic and exploratory approach to mountain biking.

More than a racer, Harald is a true storyteller of the outdoor world. Through his travels, adventures and film projects, he shares a vision of mountain biking that focuses on discovery, sustainability and a deep connection with nature. Over the years he has ridden in some of the most remote and spectacular locations on Earth, inspiring countless riders around the world.

Yet part of his heart belongs to Liguria, a region he discovered years ago and continues to explore with enthusiasm.

His live presentation, “Rediscovering Liguria”, tells the story of this connection through ninety minutes of storytelling, seven new films and stunning imagery from some of the most renowned photographers and filmmakers in the mountain bike world.
