The International Six Days of Enduro turns 100 in 2026. Official FIM 6Days schedule pages list the event for October 12–17, 2026 in Portugal’s Grândola/Sines area.
Paddock and training activity opens earlier in October per the same official schedule materials, with the opening ceremony planned at Sines. Motorcycling Canada’s ISDE 2026 page confirms the same dates and location for Team Canada logistics — useful corroboration for North American club-team readers.
How to follow from the U.S.: bookmark fim-6days.com for daily classification drops, watch national federation team pages for World Trophy / Junior Trophy / Women’s Trophy lineups, and treat social clips as unofficial until timing is posted.
Trail Roamer will not invent U.S. team rosters or stage winners ahead of official lists. When results land in October, we will publish a results card sourced to FIM timing — not rumor screenshots.
Spectator note: plan around the published animation/schedule pages, not third-party tour blogs alone. Portugal mid-October weather and paddock access rules can change — verify closer to the event.
