Lore & Trivia
The Dolomiti Extreme Trail cuts through the heart of the Italian Dolomites — a UNESCO World Heritage mountain range of vertical limestone towers, hidden valleys, and via ferrata routes that were originally military paths from World War I. The 90km course with 5,600m of gain takes runners through a landscape that is both beautiful and brutal: pastel-coloured rock walls that glow pink at sunset, scree fields that shift underfoot, and alpine meadows carpeted in wildflowers between the vertical sections. The Dolomites are Italy's mountain running heartland, and this race showcases them at their most dramatic.
