About Molare MTB Race
A mountain biking weekend in the Piedmontese Apennines
The MTB Race is the off-road cycling event that brings the Appennino Wildlife Park to life every summer in the town of Molare, in the province of Alessandria. Included in the regional competitive calendar and promoted by the ASD Uà Cycling Team, the competition is held over two days in the Cerreto area, at the gateway to the upper Orba Valley: a natural landscape of meadows, forests, and dirt paths that is ideal for mountain biking and cross-country racing.
A race on the regional competitive calendar
The event is an official trial of the off-road cycling circuit, organized by the Uà Cycling Team cycling school, a sports organization rooted in the Ovada area that has been dedicated to introducing young people to cycling for years. The park's green areas are equipped to welcome athletes, sports clubs, and families, turning the race weekend into a true celebration of outdoor sports.
Sport and nature in the Ovada hinterland
Beyond the sporting aspect, the MTB Race is an opportunity to discover the Appennino Wildlife Park and the upper Orba Valley, an area of great natural interest straddling Piedmont and the Ligurian border. The park offers a dense network of trails for hiking and mountain biking, as well as spaces designed for families and outdoor activities, which complement the two-day competition.
A landmark for local cycling
The event is part of the rich cycling tradition of the town of Molare and the Ovada area, where the Uà Cycling Team organizes various initiatives dedicated to mountain biking. The MTB Race represents one of the key competitive summer events in Molare, attracting enthusiasts and young athletes from clubs across the region.
