If you know what you're getting into the saddle for several times a week, training is twice as much fun. Our recommendation for the season: the MTB marathon at the BIKE Festival Willingen on 30 May!

From 29 to 31 May, Willingen Upland will be rocking again: three days of racing, partying and lots of exhibitors with brand new bikes, which will be handed out for extensive test rides. This year, optimal routes will be signposted. For (e-)MTB, gravel bikes and racing bikes.

Scott Enduro Race, the (very young) youngsters at the Lazer Junior Trophy, the iXS Downhill Cup final and much more. We take a look back at the highlights from the last day of the BIKE Festival Willingen 2025.

On day 2 of the BIKE Festival in Willingen, the participants of the BIKE Marathon started early in the morning. Then the kids were in the spotlight at the Vpace Kids Cup. It was a few degrees warmer and the sun came out too - which made for a great festival atmosphere on the Expo site. An overview of the highlights from Willingen on Saturday.

The 26th BIKE Festival Willingen is open. Day 1 was characterised by changeable weather, but that didn't stop numerous mountain bike fans from coming to the Expo. There was also racing action at the Orbea Wild Ride, where the new German E-Enduro champion was crowned and a spectacular bike presentation. The highlights of day 1 in Willingen.

The BIKE Festival Willingen 2025 offers more panorama, more flow, more landscape highlights - and at the same time fewer metres in altitude. Is that even possible? Yes! Route master Volker Schröder has put his heart and soul into scouting the new marathon routes for 2025.
