What began in 2016 with a single route in Portugal has grown into one of Europe's largest adventure motorcycle communities: Adventure Country Tracks (ACT) is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The idea was simple yet ambitious: to provide motorcycle riders with legal, carefully researched adventure and off-road routes through some of Europe's most spectacular landscapes. Ten years later, ACT routes span multiple countries and connect thousands of riders through a shared passion for exploration, adventure and responsible travel.

From Portugal to the Pyrenees, Italy, Croatia, Greece and Romania, as well as a growing number of new destinations, ACT has continuously evolved over the past decade. Throughout this journey, the focus has never been solely on the routes themselves, but also on the people behind them: volunteer route developers, partners, supporters and a community that actively embraces and promotes the values of ACT.

"Ten years of ACT means ten years of friendships, shared experiences and unforgettable adventures. We are proud of what has grown from a small idea and grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey," says Elvio Andrade of Adventure Country Tracks.

A key element of the ACT philosophy has always been responsible riding and respect for nature, local residents and the communities through which the routes pass. The principles of #ride, #respect and #enjoy have guided ACT from the very beginning and continue to play a vital role in preserving existing routes and enabling future projects.

As ACT celebrates its first decade, the organization is not only looking back on its achievements but also focusing firmly on the future. New routes, innovative concepts such as ACT Ride & Train, and international partnerships will help shape the next chapter of the ACT story.

To mark the 10th anniversary of Adventure Country Tracks, ACT is celebrating the developments of the past decade with a special retrospective on the origins, growth and the people behind the movement. The highlight of the anniversary celebrations is the release of a film telling the story of ACT and its community.

The YouTube premiere will take place on 5 July 2026 at 8.00 pm (CEST).
