Massa Marittima, TUSCANY
The beauty of Tuscany, combined with the perfect balance of adventure and fun, makes Grinduro Italy the unmissable ride of 2026!
Grinduro Italy is gravel + mountain bike-style enduro on a single route alternating between pavement and dirt. The important thing is to have fun—no bike is perfect!
Grinduro is more than a ride: it’s a one-day experience with excellent food, bike showcases, live music, and an international atmosphere.

THE PERFECT PARTY-TO-RACE RATIO
Grinduro Italy is located in the heart of Tuscany, at Bike Hotel Massa Vecchia, situated at the foot of the hillside town of Massa Marittima. The area has been known for decades as the perfect destination for those who love bikes, no matter the terrain.
Grinduro Italy will take you on a wild tour of some of the greatest gravel and singletrack trails that this region has become world famous for, and why, so many professional athletes come here year on year in their off-season.
Aside from cycling, the region boasts some of the most stunning medieval towns in Tuscany, locally produced foods and wines that'll make you melt, and golden beaches you'll never want to leave.

RECOMMENDED GEAR
You can ride any type of pedal-driven bike, although we recommend a gravel bike or hardtail MTB.
The ultimate setup is a disc brake-equipped gravel bike with fast-rolling 40c or wider, tubeless tires and a 1x12-speed crank set. Be prepared with at least two extra tubes, a multi-tool and mini-pump.
There will be feed zones, but smart riders will be self sufficient and bring at least two water bottles and their favourite nutritional supplies. And don’t take to the start line without a helmet on!
Make sure you bring layers — ideally arm/leg warmers and a jacket.
RECOMMENDED GEAR
VOLUNTEER
There will be lots of fun volunteer opportunities available, including course marshals, packet pickup assistance, aid station support, and much, much more. Grinduro wouldn’t happen without the help of all you amazing volunteers out there!
You will help us out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
