Mountain running enthusiasts are marking 4 July in their calendars, as this is the day the 11th edition of the Primiero Dolomiti Marathon returns, set to deliver a spectacular event against the stunning backdrop of the Dolomites. A key event on the international trail running calendar, the event will welcome runners from all over the world and will be enhanced by the Italian Individual and Club Short Trail Championships, set against the extraordinary backdrop of the Paneveggio – Pale di San Martino Nature Park. Organised by US Primiero, the event offers four distances to suit every level: the 42K, the flagship race with 1,243 metres of elevation gain through spectacular landscapes; the 26K from San Martino di Castrozza to Fiera di Primiero, technical yet accessible; the 16K Vanoi Trail from Zortea to Fiera di Primiero; and the 6.5K Family Trail, non-competitive and open to all. What sets it apart is the impeccable organisation by US Primiero, with excellent facilities, a focus on sustainability and the invaluable support of over 500 volunteers, the beating heart of an ever-growing event. The committee, led by president Luigi Zanetel alongside vice-presidents Franco Orler and Gianantonio Zanetel, is hard at work to deliver another great day of sport destined to leave its mark.
