The off-road challenge by Moto Club Fuoringiro Savona at the Maracchino Country area
The Fuoringiro Savona Enduro Sprint Race takes place in Sezzadio, a small town in the Province of Alessandria, Piedmont, within the area known as Maracchino Country. This is an enduro sprint event, a modern and spectacular format of off-road motorcycling that packs all the intensity of a full competition into just a few hours, while remaining accessible to enthusiasts rather than just professionals.
Unlike classic enduro, which features long special stages spread over extensive routes, the enduro sprint is held on a technical, repetitive circuit with timed laps and a final head-to-head elimination phase. This discipline is designed to be as fun to ride as it is easy for the public to follow: spectators can watch overtakes, jumps, and close-quarters duels live, without having to chase riders across miles of track. This is why the Maracchino Country area in Sezzadio has become a benchmark for local sprint and country races over the years.
The event is managed by Moto Club Fuoringiro Savona ASD, an association affiliated with the Italian Motorcycling Federation (FMI) and one of the most active groups in the North-West for off-road disciplines. Over recent seasons, the club's riders have distinguished themselves in numerous regional, national, and European enduro and motocross races; organizing a home event in Sezzadio is their way of bringing their community of enthusiasts to the track.
The race is open to a wide range of categories, from Beginner and Cadet classes to Senior, Major, and Women's divisions, with specific classes for both enduro and minienduro for younger riders. The typical format involves a series of timed laps to establish rankings, followed by a head-to-head elimination phase among the top riders, featuring pair duels leading up to the final.
For motor enthusiasts, it is a chance to see real riders in action on a challenging track; for families and curious visitors, it is a day in the open air of the Alessandria countryside, surrounded by the roar of engines and the atmosphere of a local village race. Admission to these promotional events is generally free, and the Sezzadio race area is easily accessible from the main roads between Alessandria and Acqui Terme.
The Fuoringiro Savona Enduro Sprint Race returns to Sezzadio, in the Province of Alessandria, on Sunday, October 18, 2026.
