Extreme on Loue returns for its 28th edition from October 3 to 4, 2026, setting off from Nautiloue in Ornans, nestled within the picturesque valley of the Loue River in Doubs. This multisport weekend is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers who appreciate both leisurely rides and competitive challenges across all age groups. The event features a range of activities to suit every level of expertise—from the Mini-Xtrem fun run for kids to the rigorous UCI Marathon competition, with an emphasis on safety and enjoyment. Among the highlights are eight new VTT Rando d'Or FFC labeled routes that wind through the stunning valley landscapes. These courses vary in length, elevation gain, and technical difficulty to cater to all participants. For those seeking more competitive challenges, there’s a 67km race open to both licensed and non-licensed riders. The UCI Hors Classe VTT Marathon event offers an international standard of competition for men and women on a thrilling course that leaves no moment idle. Additionally, the weekend includes two gravel rides, two road cycling tours, Nordic night walks, and a 12km trail run under moonlight. Participants can look forward to comprehensive support services such as departure snacks, refreshment stations throughout each route, arrival meals, personalized bike plaques (except for trails and hikes), bicycle washing facilities, secure parking, and more. The event’s registration fees vary based on the time of sign-up and chosen competition type, with detailed pricing available on their website.
