Madeira Downhill Championship 2026
The Madeira Downhill Championship returns to Camacha, Santa Cruz, bringing riders down one of the island's fastest and most technical tracks. Racers tackle steep, root-strewn trails through lush Madeira forest, finishing near Ribeira dos Boieiros in front of spectators.
The event includes both the DHI (main downhill) and Mini-DHI categories, so young riders get their own race alongside the senior competition. Expect timed training runs, a qualifying heat, and a final that decides the island champion.
