Seven Editions | Still Untamed

The Sanduro MTB Challenge returns on 26 April 2026 — bigger, tougher, and more thrilling than ever. Set against the rugged foothills of the Aravalli Range and the timeless heritage of Jaipur, this iconic mountain bike race celebrates the spirit of adventure, endurance, and community.

Sanduro is not just a race — it’s a journey where riders push their limits, connect with nature, and test their grit on some of Rajasthan’s most challenging terrain. With a vibrant heritage ride, rider expo, and two distinct competitive events, Sanduro 2026 promises an unmissable weekend for MTB enthusiasts from across India.

📅 Event Highlights

25 April 2026 – Heritage Ride & Bib Expo
Start your Sanduro experience early with a scenic Heritage Ride through Jaipur’s historic landscapes, followed by the Bib Expo and rider kit distribution. Meet fellow riders, get route briefings, and soak in the MTB energy before the big day.

26 April 2026 – Race Day (XCO Format)
The mountain biking is the heart of the event. Riders will take on the rugged Aravalli trails in a Cross-Country Olympic (XCO) format — short, intense laps designed to test stamina, skill, and determination.

 Elite XCO – 30 km
For seasoned riders and serious competitors. Expect technical climbs, fast descents, and strategic racing that rewards strength and skill.

Amateur XCO – 15 km
Perfect for riders stepping up from recreational riding to competitive MTB. A thrilling, accessible course that still delivers challenge and excitement.

Both categories include age-based divisions so participants compete fairly within age groups and find recognition among peers.
