PRESS RELEASE 2026-07-29
GOTLAND GRAND NATIONAL CONTINUES ITS GLOBAL EXPANSION – RIDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD CAN NOW FLY TO SWEDEN AND RACE THE WORLD’S LARGEST ENDURO EVENT
Have you always dreamed of competing in the world’s largest enduro race but thought transporting your motorcycle to Sweden was impossible?
Now that dream has become reality.
For Gotland Grand National 2026, Nordic Sport & Event is launching a brand-new Full Race Service Package, allowing riders from anywhere in the world to simply fly to Gotland and enjoy a complete factory-level race experience. The package includes a professionally prepared Husqvarna enduro motorcycle, full mechanical support, race service, and technical assistance throughout the event – just like the world’s top professional riders.
The initiative is launched in partnership with Husqvarna Motorcycles Scandinavia and Bloms MX.
“We want to make Gotland Grand National accessible to riders from every corner of the world. Until now, the biggest challenge for many international competitors has been the logistics of transporting their motorcycles to Sweden. With this new concept, all you need to do is book your flight—we take care of everything else,” says Conny Bohlin, CEO of Nordic Sport & Event.
Gotland Grand National is the world’s largest enduro race, attracting around 3,000 riders from numerous countries every year. During three intense hours, competitors battle side by side through forests, rocks, mud and high-speed sections on the more than 25-kilometre course in Hejdeby on the island of Gotland.
For many enduro riders, competing in GGN is the ultimate bucket-list experience—something they dream of doing at least once in their lifetime.
The new Full Race Service Package is designed for both elite riders and amateur competitors who want to experience the event without the hassle of transporting motorcycles, tools or spare parts.
The package includes:
– Factory-prepared Husqvarna enduro motorcycle with fuel
– Full professional mechanical support throughout the race weekend
– Airport transfers on Gotland
– Bike testing and personalised suspension and setup
– Personalised GGN jersey with the rider’s name and race number
– Premium Shot Race Gear winter jacket
– Access to the Husqvarna Motorcycles Scandinavia service area, operated together with the professional mechanics from Bloms MX
“We want a rider from Australia, the United States, Japan—or anywhere else in the world—to be able to decide to race Gotland Grand National, book a flight, arrive on Gotland, and find a fully prepared race bike and a professional service team waiting. We want it to be as easy as booking a ski holiday in the Alps,” says Conny Bohlin.
The new concept marks another important milestone in Gotland Grand National’s international expansion.
For 2026, the organisers are also making record investments in international live TV production, record prize money, and the strongest international rider line-up in the event’s history, featuring some of the world’s leading enduro stars.
“Our vision is for Gotland Grand National to become a race that every enduro rider in the world wants to experience at least once in their lifetime. With this initiative, we are removing one of the biggest barriers to making that dream a reality,” concludes Conny Bohlin.
