Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel
Where: Corvara (BZ)
When: 7 July 2024
The first Maratona dles Dolomites took off on July 12, 1987. How many competitors? 166.
Thirty-seven years have passed since then and the Maratona has never stopped. Today it’s one of the most spectacular granfondo races in the world. Over time it has achieved such fame that a lottery system had to be introduced. Of the 30,000 passionate cyclists who pre-registered for the event every year, only 9,000 lucky ones are able to win a bib to show up at the starting grid to dream – and sweat – on its climbs
Every year the first Sunday in July sees participants compete on three different routes in the beautiful and picturesque setting of the UNESCO Dolomites National Park. The route touches legendary passes: the Campolongo, the Pordoi, the Sella Pass, the Gardena, the extremely tough Giau Pass, the Falzarego, and finally the Valparola. Let’s not forget the fearsome "Mür dl Giat" near the finish.
Starting from La Villa and finishing in Corvara, you can choose from:
- Sellaronda Course, 55 km with 1,780 m of elevation gain;
- Medium Couse, 106 km with 3,130 m of elevation gain;
- Maratona Course, 138 km with 4,230 m of elevation gain.

A renewed partnership among Enervit, "Insieme si può.." and Selyn for the sustainable bag at #MDD37
A project that’s long-term, as is fitting for all solidarity initiatives supporting the development of fruitful, stable activities in countries with the greatest need: this is the objective of the Maratona Dles Dolomites 2024 bag.
Once again this year, Enervit is producing it together with Selyn, a cooperative certified by the WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization) which since 1991 has operated in Sri Lanka, providing professional skills, support and steady employment to its 1000 craftspeople..
Entirely hand-made, crafted on looms, the bag is 100% cotton and has an ecological soul and a sustainable, supportive and positive spirit.
These themes, which are dear to Enervit and the Maratona Dles Dolomites, are also of fundamental importance to the Associazione Gruppi “Insieme si può…” of Belluno, which for many years has worked with Selyn in supporting important development projects in the poorest and neediest areas of the planet, aiming at continuity in contributing to the development of solid institutions capable of sustaining themselves and evolving toward an independent future.
For Enervit, which this year is celebrating its first 70 years of innovation and emotion, the thirty-year partnership with Maratona Dles Dolomites is a source of great pride, combined with the commitment to always upholding values such as sports, nature, the environment, passion and social commitment.
