Erzbergrodeo 2026: 30th Anniversary Date Confirmed – Save The Date
The 30th anniversary edition of the notorious extreme enduro, the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, has been scheduled — mark your calendars for June 4–7, 2026.
Preparations are well underway for the milestone event, as the enormous open-pit mine in central Austria gets ready to welcome top off-road motorcycle competitors and countless enduro riders from around the world.
Erzbergrodeo Turns 30
Starting in 1995 as a tough off-road motorcycle competition — essentially a race to the summit of the mine — Erzbergrodeo has evolved over the years into a full-blown Extreme Enduro festival.
Numerous superlatives have been coined around the Iron Mountain, and it’s said that the very phrase “Extreme Enduro” originated at Erzberg.
Over 35,000 competitors from more than 55 countries across all continents have taken part in the 29 editions of the event, with over one million passionate motorsport fans visiting what’s become known as the “Woodstock of Extreme Enduro Sports.”
Katoch on the 30th Anniversary
Karl Katoch, the driving force behind it all, shares that preparations for the 2026 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo are well underway:
“Bringing the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo to its 30th edition is not only an emotional highlight for our crew. We want to celebrate the world’s largest festival of the Extreme Enduro community with the participants, their companions, the visitors, and our long-standing partners.”
Katoch goes on to say:
“We are already working on many new ideas and concepts for the anniversary edition that will offer spectacular motorsports action and a tremendous festival atmosphere. The 30th Red Bull Erzbergrodeo will once again gather the world’s elite offroad motorcycle racers at Erzberg, and we look forward to providing all visitors with an unforgettable and action-packed experience.”
A Major Platform for Partners and Fans
Mark Schilling, Head of Marketing and Organization at Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, adds:
“The 30th event anniversary is also the perfect platform for involving partners. With live TV coverage of Red Bull Erzbergrodeo on Red Bull TV and ServusTV, as well as a social media reach of 17 million users during the event, we are able to reach a broad, extremely active target group.
In addition, we offer year-round campaigns and outstanding, action-packed interactions with visitors and participants on site. The emotional bond between our partners and Red Bull Erzbergrodeo visitors is truly unique.”
