2026 FIM SNX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TO CROWN ITS CHAMPIONS IN NORWAY THIS WEEKEND !

TRONDHEIM (Norway) 9th April 2026 – The 2026 FIM Snowcross World Championship reaches its conclusion this weekend, as the Grånasen Sports Park, on the western edge of the city of Trondheim, plays host to the third and final round of this year’s series, and the popular winter sports resort on the outskirts of Norway’s third most populous city should provide a stunning backdrop and enthusiastic crowd for the first event of its kind in the area!
 
While the city is 1,500 km south-west of former Norwegian SNX venue Kirkenes, Trondheim is still 500 km north of capital Oslo in the amazing geography of the northernmost Scandinavian nation, and on the edge of the mighty Trondheim Fjord the views should be spectacular for the visiting riders and their teams as they prepare for the final contest in this year’s series!
 
Norway hasn’t hosted a round of the SNX Championship since April 2024, but the overall winner from that day, 2023 World Champion and five-time silver medallist Aki Pihlaja from Finland, finds himself in a perfect position to go for his second world crown for the Lynx manufacturer, as he holds an eight-point advantage over round one winner Olle Sahlström from Sweden on his Ski-doo.  It’s a two-way fight for the crown as another Finn, Aki Pesonen, sits 27 points, over a race win’s worth, off the lead in third place after two eighths in round one.
 
The top Norwegian prospects Robert Lunden and Ingebrigt Hoelsaeter sit in seventh and eighth in the standings on their Ski-Doo sleds as they try to fire up the order on home snow!
 
In the Women’s World Championship races, Swede Wilma Jonsson is going for a completely unbeaten season, as she has picked up maximum points on her Ski-Doo to enjoy a 22-point lead in the series over fellow Swede Hilda ÖhmanTilde Karelius is looking to make it a 1-2-3 for both Sweden and Ski-doo, while home heroine Mali Hoelsaeter is aiming to move up from fifth in the standings in front of her local supporters.

Adding to the excitement, Trondheim will also host the decisive round of the FIM Europe European Snowcross Championship (ESNX), where the 2026 European Champion will be crowned. With everything to play for in this unique round, Europe’s top talents will line up alongside the world championship contenders, ensuring an intense and highly competitive weekend as riders battle for continental glory on the demanding Norwegian track.

With Qualifying Races on Friday, 10th April, and two points-counting races on Saturday, the FIM Snowcross World Championship will be full of excitement as the world titles are decided!  Join us for all the action from Trondheim!
