Event summary
The Trans Madeira Autumn Edition, taking place from September 22 to 27, 2025, is an all-inclusive, six-day enduro MTB adventure across the stunning island of Madeira and Porto Santo.

Riders can expect 30+ special stages, covering 250 km of rugged terrain across five full days of racing. It’s a bucket-list event for any serious mountain biker.
