After months of uncertainty, the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship (HEWC) is officially back for 2025 – and it’s returning with a new direction under fresh leadership. Swiss-based sports management company ProTouchGlobal GmbH has taken over as the new promoter, aiming to lead the championship into a new era.
The updated provisional calendar brings some unexpected changes. One of the most iconic events, Erzbergrodeo, is no longer part of the series. In its place, the stunning Silver Kings Hard Enduro in the USA makes its debut, alongside the return of legendary events like Romaniacs and Roof of Africa.
The season is set to begin very soon, with the first round kicking off at Valleys Hard Enduro in Wales on May 10-11. Several rounds are still under negotiation, including Abestone in Italy.

John Collins, the FIM Enduro Commission Director added: “The FIM welcomes our new Promoter for FIM Hard Enduro World Championship and it promises to be exciting times with many new initiatives planned to raise the status of this series. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the previous Promoter and their staff for all the work done in promoting this Championship with the FIM to date and working to ensure that Hard Enduro has maintained its important place in the Enduro community. A lot of work will be needed but I am confident the future of FIM Hard Enduro World Championship is now secure and will grow and be something we will all be proud of.”
