The event in a few words

We know why you’re here! It’s for the kids’ race of 2.5 km, right? 😎

No, no—there’s no way you came to read us to get information about the incredible 😍, the huge 🐘, the legendary 🌟 and challenging KAILAS FUGA Dolomiti Extreme Trail… 🙄 Why? Well, because you have to be seriously motivated to want to take part in one of the other distances on offer: 13 km, 21 km, 38 km, 58 km, 76 km and 102 km. Okay, we’ll give you that—it’s not only for mastodons 🏋️‍♂️, there are also some lovely shorter distances! 🤏 Now it’s just a matter of which one you’ll prefer to explore the Dolomites 🏔️. Yes! It’s indeed in Forno Di Zoldo, in Veneto, in Northern Italy 🇮🇹 that you’ll have the joy of running. What more is there to say? Bellissimo! 🤌

Since its first edition in 2013 👆, the Dolomiti Extreme Trail has evolved a lot to become today a must-do race in the North of the boot-shaped country 👢. Lovers of high mountains will therefore be happy 🥰 to take part in this trail in the great outdoors 🌿, where the routes have been designed with a master’s hand 🧑‍🏫. However, this beauty comes at a price: the courses are heavy on elevation and extremely technical 😮‍💨. The 102 km, for example, includes 6,500 mD+ and will take you to discover the peaks that form the natural backdrop of Val di Zoldo. Same goes for the 76 km (4,800 mD+) and the 58 km (3,600 mD+), which are shorter distances but just as demanding and will already require solid trail experience 👨‍🦳. Luckily, though, there are more accessible distances! You can also start the 38 km (2,470 mD+), 21 km (1,140 mD+) or the 13 km (670 mD+). There—you’re reassured! 🤗

But since all work deserves pay 💰, know that your efforts will be rewarded! Indeed, a whole host of prizes awaits you and should push you to surpass yourself 🏃‍♀️. The 21 km, 38 km, 58 km, 76 km and 102 km will respectively earn you 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ITRA points. That’s not nothing! 😅 But wait—there’s better for the competitor you are, since you’ll also secure 20K, 50K and 100K UTMB Index qualifiers! 🌎 If the competition weren’t taking place under the mild June ☀️ weather, you could almost think it’s Christmas 🎄. Finally, the races are part of the ITRA National League and the Europe Trail Cup championship, which awards a cash prize 💵 to the top three men and women in the two existing categories: "Trail" (which includes the DXT 22k, 35k and 55k courses) and "Ultra" (which includes the DXT 76k and 102k) 🤓.

“But what’s so special about these races?”, you wonder 🤔. We’ll answer: several charming advantages. First, of course, they take place in the high mountains of the Dolomites, a region declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They will let you roam the trails and the immense fir forests 🌲 that make up the area. Still far from mass tourism, Val di Zoldo has remained wild 🐻 and therefore offers a preserved course, through unspoiled woods 🪵, incomparable rock formations, and vast scree slopes 🧗‍♂️. A completely natural race awaits you, made up of small streams 🌊 but also steep slopes 📈. One last piece of information, and not the least: the 76 km and the 102 km are night races 🌒 that will let you observe these spaces from a brand-new perspective and bring a magical, unreal atmosphere to your trail. 

So we’ll see you next June, in Forno Di Zoldo, for a batch of extremely delicious events 😋. 

6 reasons to join this race

See a legendary mountain range 💫
The Dolomites have earned their reputation! Listed as a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site, they are the jewel 💎 of Northern Italy. Still an area extremely spared from tourism, they will win you over with their wild beauty and high peaks ⛰️.
Complete the loop around Val di Zoldo 🗺️
On the 102 km, you will largely follow the Anello Zoldano, the high route that loops around all the valley’s summits 🔦. Night start, headlamp strapped to your forehead, climb to Bivacco Grisetti, summit of Monte Rite, then a plunge into the descent of the Calada: 1,000 mD- in 1.5 km! A true victory lap of the Zoldo Dolomites—something only an ultra-trail can offer 🏆.
Challenge yourself with big elevation gains 📈
6,500 mD+, 4,800 mD+, 3,600 mD+, 2,470 mD+, 1,140 mD+... The elevation gains offered in this race are not for just anyone! Luckily, some daredevils are bold enough to venture there and want just one thing: to take on the challenge! 💪
A whole village behind you 🤝
In Forno di Zoldo, the start, finish, and DXT Village are concentrated in the heart of the village, and the whole valley rallies around the runners 🫶. More than 300 volunteers keep the machine running without ever betraying the eco-trail spirit that has always driven the organization: no plastic cups at aid stations ♻️, and the slightest piece of litter thrown on the trail means disqualification! Here, the mountain is respected as much as the runners.
Multiple distances 🙌
With 6 different distances and a kids’ race, the Dolomiti Extreme Trail knows how to bring crowds together. Impossible not to find the distance that suits you—or that lets you avoid coming alone. Here, everyone finds what they’re looking for! 👏
Great rewards 🎁
There are plenty of prizes of various kinds, but if you love trail running, you’ll clearly find what you’re looking for with ITRA and UTMB points. And that’s without even mentioning the Europe Trail Cup championship... 🙄

A distance for every taste
