On 16 May 2026 , Fermo will host the finish of the eighth stage of the Giro d'Italia, one of the world's most important cycling competitions. The Chieti–Fermo section, approximately 159 kilometres long, will cross the Adriatic coast and the Marche hills before concluding in the city of Fermo.
After an initial flat section along the coast, the route will enter the Piceno and Fermo hills, featuring a series of short but challenging climbs that are typical of the landscape in this area. Key sections include Montefiore dell'Aso and Monterubbiano, before the final stretch that will take the riders to Capodarco and the finish line in the centre of Fermo, after the climbs leading up to the city's historic centre.
The stage finish will transform Fermo into a centre of international cycling, attracting thousands of fans along the route. This section also represents the only stage in the Marche region in the 2026 edition of the Giro d'Italia, providing the city and the local area with a significant opportunity for visibility.
The return of the Corsa Rosa also marks an important moment in the local sporting history: indeed, the Giro d'Italia will once again conclude a stage in Fermo after more than half a century, in a city with a strong cycling tradition also linked to the famous Gran Premio Capodarco.
