June 26, 2026: The Adriatic resort launches the new Coast to Coast route, welcoming competitors with scrutineering, registration, the official car display and the opening track action at Misano World Circuit.
The 2026 Modena Cento Ore will begin in Riccione, which has been chosen as the starting point for the new Coast to Coast route. From here, the event will set out on a journey through some of Italy’s most iconic motoring destinations before reaching its final finish in Modena. Situated on the doorstep of the Motor Valley and just a few kilometres from Misano World Circuit, Riccione combines the renowned hospitality of Romagna with a region where automotive culture is deeply rooted.
On Tuesday 6 October, Riccione will become the operational hub of the event, hosting scrutineering, registration and the official display of the competing cars in Piazzale Roma, where competitors and spectators will gather for the opening day of the 2026 edition. The Welcome Evening will officially launch the event ahead of the start of competition.
On Wednesday 7 October, competitors will leave Riccione to tackle the opening special stages before arriving at Misano World Circuit for free practice and the first circuit race of the event. At the end of the day, the cars will return to Riccione, bringing the opening leg to a close.
The following morning, competitors will leave the Adriatic coast and head towards Tuscany. After another sequence of special stages and a visit to the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari at Imola, the route will continue to Mugello and Florence, leaving the Adriatic behind as the crossing towards the Tyrrhenian coast begins.
