Bedolpian2Run — The Forest Relay

A running relay in the woods of the Piné Plateau

The Bedolpian2Run — The Forest Relay is a mountain running race that brings the Bedolpian forest to life every year in the municipality of Baselga di Pinè, on the Trentino plateau of the same name. Organized by Trentino Mountain Running, the event is renowned for its relay format, which transforms a classic mountain run into a collaborative challenge for pairs.

How the race works

The competition is run in teams of two athletes: each member completes the entire race loop, and the final result is the sum of the two times. The course measures 7.5 km with about 300 meters of elevation gain, unfolding along mountain paths and forest roads with rolling terrain and glimpses of the lakes that dot the plateau. There are men's, women's, and mixed categories, with both competitive and non-competitive options, making the event suitable for both trained athletes and enthusiasts who simply want to enjoy the outdoors.

Start and finish in Bedolpian

The logistical heart of the event is the 1000 Pini sports field in Bedolpian, which serves as the start and finish line. From here, participants head into the woods, immersed in the natural environment of the Piné Plateau—one of Trentino's most popular destinations for outdoor sports, characterized by pine forests, meadows, and shimmering lakes.

An event between sport and nature

The Bedolpian2Run is more than just a race; it is an opportunity to experience the woods and mountains in good company, highlighting the plateau's territory and its outdoor vocation. The combination of the short course, moderate elevation, and relay format makes it an accessible and fun race, attracting runners from across Trentino and the surrounding valleys.

Baselga di Pinè and the plateau

Located just a few kilometers from Trento, Baselga di Pinè is the main hub of the Piné Plateau, famous for its lakes, forests, and wide range of sports and nature activities. The Bedolpian2Run fits perfectly into this identity, offering participants and spectators a day dedicated to sport in an authentic alpine setting in the Province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige.
