Strzegom, 1.04.2026 — For years, Strzegom has been one of the key venues on the European eventing map. The 2026 season brings a significant step forward, as the organisers introduce two new ranking tours designed to raise the level of sporting competition: the DCU Strzegom Tour 2026 and the Strzegom Rising Stars Tour.
DCU Strzegom Tour 2026 – a battle of the best
The new DCU Strzegom Tour 2026 is aimed at riders competing at the highest level. The ranking will include competitions from 1* to 3* classes held throughout the season in Strzegom, with points awarded based on results achieved across multiple events.
The key factor is consistency. A single outstanding performance is not enough – maintaining top form throughout the season is what counts. Riders will be able to collect points starting from the April Strzegom Spring Open all the way to the season finale at the Strzegom October Festival.
For both riders and fans, this means a clear and exciting rivalry among the best. Every start matters, every mistake has consequences, and every victory brings competitors closer to the overall title – and prize money.
The winner of the tour will be the rider with the highest number of points.
The total prize pool amounts to €10,000:
1st place – 5.000 EUR
2nd place – 3.000 EUR
3rd place – 2.000 EUR
Strzegom Rising Stars Tour – a space for the future
The second tour, the Strzegom Rising Stars Tour, focuses on young riders stepping up to a higher level of competition. Its goal is clear: to identify and support the future stars of eventing.
The ranking will include seven national events held in Strzegom and is open to riders who have not competed at CCI2* level or higher within the last three seasons. The focus is on development, gaining experience, and consistently building performance.
Events included in the tour:
- Strzegom Spring Open I (April 9–12)
- Strzegom Spring Open II (April 23–26)
- CNC Strzegom (May 16–17)
- Strzegom Horse Trials (June 25–28)
- Strzegom Summer Tour (July 30 – August 2)
- Strzegom Autumn Show (September 3–6)
- Strzegom October Festival (October 8–11)
The top riders in the ranking will be awarded entry fees for the 2027 season, providing support for their development and career progression.
More than just competitions
The introduction of two parallel ranking tours sends a clear message: Strzegom aims to be more than just a competition venue. The ambition is to create a place where the story of an entire season unfolds – from the first start to the final standings.
For riders, it is an additional motivation. For fans, a reason to follow the competition from start to finish. For the sport, a step forward in the continued development of eventing.
