Under the patronage of the Marche Region, the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, the Municipality of Gabicce Mare (PU), and Terra di Piloti e Motori, the Moto Club Riding Marche organizes the "Rally delle Marche", a non-competitive adventouring event with a GPX track, aimed at promoting motorcycle tourism in the Marche Region, enhancing local products, and supporting local businesses.
It is an opportunity to discover our beautiful territory, enjoy good food and share your passion for motorcycles.
The most famous tourist guide in the world, Lonely Planet, has declared the Marche Region the only Italian destination included among the places not to be missed in the "Top Regions - Best in Travel" ranking for 2020. Although still little known, the Marche Region is an ancient land, an extraordinary contamination of ancient traditions that make this region unique in the world. Its territory is extremely heterogeneous, in the space of a few kilometers, you cross very different environments. From the beaches of the Adriatic coast, passing through the green hills, you reach the 2,000 meters of the Apennine ridge.
This year we will have an exceptional guest, a man who needs no introduction—the timeless one! The myth! The legend! Giovanni Sala!!
A KTM standard-bearer, born in Bergamo in 1963, he is a true icon of enduro riding and international rally racing.
His career boasts six Enduro World Championships, nineteen Italian Enduro Championships, and an impressive ten Dakar Rallies!!
Dakar riders Gio Sala and Cesare Zacchetti will reveal the secrets of riding on sand.
At the Desert Training Master, you can devote an entire day to learning sand-riding techniques with guidance from world-famous Dakar riders Gio Sala and Cesare Zacchetti!
It's an opportunity you absolutely can't miss!!
The event will take place on Friday, October 16, 2026, on the beautiful beach of Gabicce Mare (PU). The paddock will be set up at the stunning seaside venue Mississippi, where the theoretical session will be held. Afterwards, it's time to put the wheels on the sand for the practical riding session.

The routes are divided between Saturday and Sunday. On both days, they start from Piazza Valbruna in Gabicce Monte and head toward the Tuscan–Umbrian–Marche Apennines before returning to Gabicce Monte.
Depending on the chosen route, riders will pass through different types of landscapes, all unfolding along roads with a strong scenic impact.
You will ride through wonderful areas, breathtaking views, and isolated roads winding through forests in the wild hinterland of the Marche region.
To add a touch of adrenaline, there will be an exciting optional section along the beach!
For both days, the start and finish will take place in Piazza Valbruna, set in the stunning surroundings of Gabicce Monte (PU).
Participants will ride independently, following the track on their own navigation device.
Participation is open to everyone. All motorcycles are allowed—from specialist single-cylinder bikes to twin- and three-cylinder machines, including vintage motorcycles, with no weight limits.
To meet different riding preferences, participants can choose from FIVE types of routes:
Without the beach section, the Touring route is entirely on asphalt, perfect for those who want to ride along beautiful scenic roads and enjoy the stunning landscapes of our fantastic hinterland—also ideal for riding with a passenger.
The Discovery route features secondary paved roads and light gravel or dirt roads. This route is suitable for those who want to enjoy some off-road riding without tackling demanding sections and who do not feel comfortable riding on the beach. Knobby or semi-knobby tires are recommended.
For those who want to add a touch of adrenaline, this version of the Discovery route includes the beach section. The itinerary consists of secondary paved roads and light gravel or dirt roads. It is suitable for riders who want to have fun off-road without facing overly demanding sections. Knobby or semi-knobby tires are recommended.
In addition to the beach section, the Adventure route includes paved roads, gravel roads, rough dirt tracks with loose stones, ruts, and steep climbs. This route is reserved for riders with good off-road riding skills and motorcycles equipped with knobby tires. In case of rain, the route may become challenging due to slippery and muddy surfaces.
For the most demanding riders, we have added some tough "hard" variants and a river crossing to the Adventure route, where you can really test your skills. Don't worry—nothing extreme or excessive, and it can also be tackled with twin-cylinder bikes, but proper aggressive knobby tires are strongly recommended.
