MTB DOWNTOWN

WHAT

The MTB Downtown de Marisquiño is one of the spectators' favorite events at the festival, where every year thousands of action sports fans gather to experience the adrenaline and speed of the participating riders. Mountain bikes leave their natural environment to adapt to the city, replacing dirt with asphalt and rocks with the edges of sidewalks. Different natural and artificial obstacles make up a unique circuit in the world.

WHERE

The center of Vigo hosts this spectacular Mountain Bike event. In 2026 it will once again start from the Fortress of O Castro, the highest point in the city center, to descend down the slopes of the hill, cross the Old Town and finish by the sea, at the A Laxe Leisure Center. The course will feature 1 kilometer of route and 135 meters of elevation gain, while maintaining the spectacular passage over the elevated walkway that connects the historic quarter with the shopping center.

As the main new feature for 2026, the organizers will introduce technical improvements at several points on the circuit with the aim of allowing greater speed and even more spectacular jumps.

WHEN

HOW

Only two competition categories are established, men and women, regardless of the category of their license, as long as it is cadet or above. There are 4 Warm-Up runs, followed by a qualifying run in which the riders go down one by one with the aim of stopping the clock in the shortest possible time and establishing the starting order (the fastest time starts last). Finally, the final is held. Whoever manages to finish in the shortest time in this round wins.
