The Everesting World Championships return to the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy on 26 September 2026, featuring a unique and iconic cycling challenge for elite and dedicated riders.
Participants choose from multiple formats — Full, Half, Quarter, or Eighth Everesting — and can compete solo or as a team. The event now features full road closures and an extended cut-off time for the toughest formats, with an accompanying festival celebrating the Everesting community.
