Special centenary documentary series charts 6DAYS® FIM Enduro of Nations history
Celebrating the historic centenary edition of the 6DAYS® FIM Enduro of Nations, that this year is scheduled to run from 12-17 October at Grândola in Portugal, the FIM has developed a documentary series that takes an in-depth look at the rich history and evolution of the oldest event on the FIM calendar.
Charting the history of the 6DAYS, that was first staged in England’s Lake District one-hundred-and-thirteen years ago, the documentary takes viewers from the early days of this iconic event – widely regarded as one of the discipline’s toughest tests – all the way through to the present day. Along the way it stops to focus on pivotal moments and captures all the passion, challenges and emotions of competing in the event that started life as the FIM International Six Days Trial back in 1913.
Presented by Antoine Méo, a four-time winner of the 6DAYS with the French national team, who guides viewers through the different chapters of the event’s history, there is additional input from some of the sport’s most famous names including riders of the calibre of former and current FIM Enduro World Champions Juha Salminen, Andrea Verona, Josep Garcia, Jane Daniels and Rachel Gutish.
The first of seven episodes is now live on YouTube and FIM-MOTO.TV with a new episode released every Sunday from now until the start of the 2026 event. The final two episodes will focus on the centenary edition itself, with one released on the Sunday before the event and the final episode on the Sunday following the conclusion of the race.
The 100th edition of the 6DAYS® FIM Enduro of Nations will take place in Grândola, Portugal, from 12-17 October. Visit the official event website for more information.
