2025 FIM Sand Races World Championship

The 2025 FIM Sand Races World Championship was the 1st FIM Sand Races World Championship season. The series marked the first season that there has been an FIM World Championship for the Beach racing discipline.[1]

The FIM ran an FIM Sand Races World Cup in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, with British rider Todd Kellett winning both World Cup titles in the motorcycle category.[2][3] After winning five of the six rounds, Kellett was able to be crowned as the first FIM World Champion of the discipline.

The series included six rounds and was bookended by the 2025 and 2026 editions of the Enduropale du Touquet event.[4]
