HAT Marathon Legend

1980s Dual-Sport Bikes Take Center Stage Again in Bobbio

The HAT Marathon Legend is the event of the HAT Series entirely dedicated to 1980s dual-sport motorcycles, the great road and rally enduro bikes that made off-road and adventouring history. It is a non-competitive marathon: not a race against the clock, but a tourist-sport rally where each rider follows a GPX track at their own pace, rediscovering the pleasure of riding historic motorcycles on dirt roads and trails.

After the first edition in 2025, held in the Cuneo Alps between Garessio and Boves following the tracks of the first Hardalpitour, in 2026 the event moves to Bobbio, a charming village in Val Trebbia in the province of Piacenza, a natural crossroads between Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, Piedmont, and Liguria, and always a favorite among motorcyclists.

Four Events in One

The HAT Legend is not just a marathon: in the proven format of the Over 2000 Riders organization, multiple aspects coexist in a single weekend:

• The Marathon: Two days of off-road routes starting and ending in Bobbio, along the hills of Val Trebbia, Passo del Penice, and Monte Aserei.
• The Village: The exhibition area with vintage motorcycles, accessories, and stands dedicated to the dual-sport world.
• The Beauty Contest: A jury awards the most representative and best-preserved motorcycles from the golden age of enduro.
• The Themed Evening: A convivial event with a typical dinner and a show dedicated to enthusiasts.

Eligible Motorcycles and Route

Motorcycles eligible to participate are dual-sport bikes of any displacement, four-stroke, manufactured by 1990, even with later evolutions, with no weight limits and suitable off-road tires. The route winds through the rolling hills surrounding Bobbio, with navigation via an app and refreshment stops planned at Grazzano Visconti, one of the most picturesque villages in the Piacenza area.

An Event in the Piacenza Apennines

The choice of Bobbio is no coincidence: this corner of Emilia-Romagna, with its Val Trebbia described as one of the most beautiful valleys in Italy, passes through areas of great natural value (Monte Capra, Pietra Parcellara, Trebbia River, Nure Conoid). The HAT Marathon Legend thus combines the passion for classic motorcycling with the discovery of a territory rich in nature, history, and tradition, offering enthusiasts an authentic experience in the municipality of Bobbio and the province of Piacenza.
