Held at Grönklitt in Orsa, central Sweden, across forest trails and ski slopes with Lake Orsa below. The organisers state that from 2026 the event is “part of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship” — the first time a HEWC round has been held in Sweden. Racing splits into three categories running alongside each other: a lapped Enduro open to everyone from beginners to the world elite, a domestic Hard Enduro class, and the Hard Enduro WC itself. Spectators can buy weekend or day tickets covering unlimited lift access, arena entry, shows and the after-race. It is built as a festival rather than only a race. The HEWR rates it Premier.
Mani Lettenbichler (KTM) won the Gold main race in 2h20m41s over ten laps, from Mitch Brightmore (GASGAS, +3m36s) and his brother Ashton Brightmore (GASGAS, +7m16s) — a double podium for X-Grip GASGAS. Sweden’s own Eddie Karlsson took fourth on the electric Stark. Billy Bolt (Husqvarna), back from injury, beat Lettenbichler by 36 seconds to win Friday’s sprint race, but finished fifth in the main event.
